[R-390] radios at trash sites

[Patrick]

When I was in the USAF (about 1963) and stationed at the 649th Radar
Squadron (ADC) I found at the base dump a R-390A, after a lot of work I got
it to work and put it on my night table, a few days later, the AP's came and
told me that if I did not return the receiver to the dump I would be charged
with stealing goverment property. So since those squadrons have long been
deactivated, maybe is still there along with a lot of other treasures (the
entire MARS station and thousands of crystals as an example). If you feel
lucky, it is located on the Blue Ridge Parkway about 9 miles north of the
Peaks of Otter Lodge. The only thing there now is a search radar maned by
the FFA.
