[MRCA] some neat photos

[David Olean]

I should not mention this,  but I was actually in a unit that utilized a 
TRC-1!  I was in the US Army as a signal battalion S-4 and stationed in 
Europe. It was 1970.  Our Colonel found a TRC-1 which surprised me as I 
owned the property book for quite awhile and never saw it listed 
anywhere. I think it was obsolete then! We set it up and used it with 
TRC-24 antennas for "A" band (50-100 MHz) and put in a shot from near 
Frankfurt to the town of Bad Kreuznach, a path of just over 40 miles.  
This was an awful long way to go and our TRC-24s would not do it, but 
the old TRC-1 worked great with 4 channels. I think we had TTY rigged up 
on two of the channels. All I remember was that it worked like a hose! 
It was solid for the two weeks that we used it.  I get a warm and fuzzy 
feeling every time I see a TRC-1 picture!
