[MRCA] SCR-300 Loan Sought for Exhibit

[Rob Flory]

Hi,

My friend Alex Magoun, Outreach Historian for the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers is a good guy who I have trusted with family
heirlooms when he was curator of the Sarnoff Museum.  He asked me to help
with his quest:

"The IEEE History Center in Piscataway, NJ, preserves and promotes the
history of electric, electronic, and computer technologies for the world's
largest technology professional organization. For a travelling exhibit on
radio circuit pioneer Edwin Howard Armstrong, it would like to borrow one
of the 50,000 SCR-300 FM transceivers, the original "walkie-talkie," made
during World War II. The set should be externally intact, with handset and
antenna; it does not need to be in working order, include the harness gear,
or contain the BA-70/80 battery, although one or the case of one could be
displayed alongside it.

The center expects the exhibit to tour in 2024-2025. Interested lenders
will be credited by name or anonymously as desired. If you can help, please
contact outreach historian Alex Magoun at the center, a.b.magoun at ieee.org.
Thanks! "

Please contact Alex if you can help or would like more information.

Thanks, Rob K2WI
