[MRCA] Fwd: MilRad book

[Al Klase]

Folks,

Gene recommended this book;


I discovered it's available free on archive.org 
<https://archive.org/details/MilitaryCommunicationsATestForTechnology>

Looks good. Maps and everything.  Not much coverage of tactical radios, 
but the system stuff is interesting as I was involved in that.

Enjoy,
Al

Al:

     FYI.  I mentioned a book I recently acquired that describes many, 
if not most, of the radios developed for the US Army from after WWII 
through Vietnam up through 1969.  It's title is "Military Communications 
- A Test For Technology - The US Army In Vietnam." 
https://tinyurl.com/2528n87w .  It was written by John D. Bergen in 
1985.  The book includes a chronology of the political and military 
developments that led to the US involvement in southeast Asia as well as 
descriptions of the various wide area, broadband analog microwave and 
tropo systems that USA deployed to help the Vietnamese Army and 
political leadership. Some of our favorite squad radios are included in 
the discussion, such as the PRC-6, -8/9/10, -25 and the beloved 
PRR9/PRT4 pair.
