[MRCA] Additional thought on Dayton Hamvention

[Robert Downs]

“The BC-659 was the radio used by the Field Artillery.”  Correct.  Although the Infantry got some of them, too.  “The BC-620 is an Infantry Radio.”  No, BC-620, part of SCR-509 and SCR-510, was used by Armor.  It was the mate to the much larger SCR-508/528.  The only mostly Infantry FM radio of WW-II was the BC-1000 (SCR-300).  AN/VRC-3 (mostly Armor for talking to the grunts) was the vehicular version.
