33 ft INFLATABLE tower?

November 30th, 2011 1 comment

This comes under the ‘I didn’t know we needed that’ heading, I ran across this while surfing online this week.

Link to it here

And it’s only $1139! Call now! Operators are standing by!

But wait, it holds 5 pounds?
And pulls 660watts to stay up in the air?

Article with more details on the Navy Radios

November 17th, 2011 No comments

I was surfing the BTARS site tonight and ran across this article about the Navy radios we have in our JLFSHS, the RBB and RBC models. It also talks about the matching transmitter.

Let me know if you’d like to operate them sometime. Our RBB model is dead but the RBC works very well! It tunes 4 to 27 MHz.
