[Premium-Rx] Help with id'ing an antenna multicoupler

[Llgpt at aol.com]

Thanks Glenn! Looking forward to finding out something about it. Every  
military multicoupler I have seen/used in the past omitted the bcb and covered 2  
mhz to 30 mhz.

Hi

The /BRC should indicate Submarine use. Charleston was the  home of both FBM 
and Fast Attack submarines. I would suggest that this  probably say service 
on subs and was probably connected to the trailing  wire antenna with the HF 
tip installed.

I was stationed on subs out  of Charleston and still know some people at 
Spawars, the new name for  Navelex. Will see what I can dig up.
