[R-390] Antifreeze

[Richard Wojnar via R-390]

Forum,
Please accept my apology as I just realized that I am getting as bad as those threads earlier today regarding airing my military laundry while using the forum as the vehicle. Yes, my buttons get pushed when some always have to prove that they had it harder than the others. Again, I apologize!  Let's get back to vintage radios.

In more than one instance getting a fix on the enemy, and troop strength, kept you, and your green beret brother warriors safe. Please do your homework, before posting, on those "poor" radio operators.
