[R-390] R-390 stories

[Helmut Usbeck]

I was stationed in the Canal Zone with "Nickel-Deuce" Signal=
 company. 
When in the field, which was most of the time I would borrow an 
unused R-392, which we had mounted on the back of our jeeps. =
 (T-150, 
and two R-392's setup--I forgot it's nomenclature).  By one or=
 two in 
the morning it was no problem receiving WABC-AM.  It was great 
listening real news and songs and such from "the world".  One day=
  
one of our company cooks asked what I was listening to and I told=
 
him.  He asked if I could get some powerhouse Nashville station=
 and 
so we tuned in.  Same thing, guy was happy as hell to hear=
 something 
from home.  He came by just about every morning for a listen. =
 Boy, 
did I ever get some great breakfasts delivered by an orderly=
 after 
that.
