[NJARC] WWII Amateur Radio Blackout

[Al Klase]

Lisa,

Some interesting info here: http://www.ac6v.com/history.htm

I also remember seeing a notice in early '40's QST where the Signal 
Corps had a list of commercial Ham gear they wanted to by from amateurs.

Aaron,

I worked on a multi-band tombstone many years ago that had the 
short-wave coils neatly snipped out.

Regards,
Al
