    When its time to go its time to GO! Besides I still wonder how much longer we will be in South Korea? But other than that I would like to have that C106 Tranceiver and matching amplifier that is setting under those two horn speakers against the R/S wall! Carl

    Consider it has been sitting in a dewpoint of 74 for 40 years without use. You might want to reconsider

    Very true Burt! We were still using those in the Army in 2000, but we moved up to using Harris HF gear when we turned them in. I dont think the anti fungal spray coating helped much after so long. But it is good to see some photos of radio gear that was left there! Carl

    Nice pictures of an equipment store room.
    I guess Uncle Ho wants the money spending tourist trade to believe that this collection of receivers and TTY machines was part of the vast communications complex that the Souths running dog lacky President used to keep in touch with his imperialistic American masters. Too bad none of that stuff is connected to anything. :-) I did notice a VRC-46 in there though. Used to work on those.

    in video mentioned dog and cat, according to what I heard, dog are good, but cat will give you ache in joint and muscle, I was told cat should be avoided, I live in Orange County, CA, so I learn a lot about their cultures and food.
