                            Down at the far end on Friday night, the boys are still up.            

                          

             "And the way the radio works, you twist that little knob and when the
" white noise is heard" you back off till the noise quits and that is your squelch setting."
             "What is white noise?"
                         

                    Dave KB3ELD's W.W.II cot and mummy bag arrived so he could camp
out at Zorro's area. Note the WW II camo nets.

                  And I have to present this photo taken several years ago. This is a photo of Al's
BC-474 microphone taken a couple of years ago at Gilbert.
                                 A definite modification trend.

 

                     

           I had a lot of questions especially from the vehicle collectors about the source of
my W.W.II camouflage netting. Most of the netting that can be found is in horrible shape and the
smell is terrible. So I found FM5-20B on line and got to work.

 
                             

                                Dyed burlap strips cut to the correct length.

                           K4CHE's Wagon mobile. Used for various sets and used in this photo
as transport and as an antenna for the Delco 5300.
                                     

                     Note the antenna modification with the loading coil. An MS-116 section has
a insulated section inserted to mount a loading coil.
                             

             The British generator and my distribution box for the Delco 5300.
Box provides regulated low voltage for the receiver as well as 12 and 24 volts for the
transmitter.
                

                  The "Key" socket was utilized for the external power.
