[Qcwa] old brute BC610 repairs during WW2

[Augie]

Hi -

The local radio station at Ketchikan Alaska (c.a. 1960 - 1962) had two 
BC-610s for their transmitters.  One of them used to spit out spurs all 
over - especially on 2182 kcs (maritime distress and calling) and the Coast 
Guard would call them up and chew out the engineer until he got the thing 
retuned.

We had a BC-610 for a ham rig at CG Base Ketchikan, but I never finished 
putting it together before I got transferred home.  Man! I wanted to light 
that one off sooooo bad!

73,
