[MRCG] Intro

[mac]

Tom,

Welcome aboard.

We (hams) can operate the old, wide deviation FM sets between 29.0 and  
29.7 mHz in the ham 10Meter band so you would need an SCR-608 (or  
SCR-808) and an SCR-610 (BC-659) if you plan to actually operate the  
radios.  At Ft. MacArthur in San Pedro we have an M-16 with an  
operating BC-659 installed and a 3/4 ton dodge command car with an  
operating SCR-284, see:  <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7-5ndedc8o>

We also have a recently acquired M3A1 Scout car in which we are in the  
process of installing additional SCR-284 and BC-659 radios.
