[GreenKeys] AN/GRC-106A

[eldim at att.net]

Hello Tony & Crew,
It would be fascinating to see those 50 MD-522's purrring along with those green lazy-jo's locked in!
No tell me, you did get a picture of that for the archives, didn't you?

You guys are getting me all wound up to do a shake down on my GRC-142  RTTY HF and power it up again. Eventhou it has been stored inside, I think I need to do some prep-work as I am sure some of the Machines have dried up lubrication and grease. Any quick ideas for getting things warmed up before the mains are energized? RTTY Machines are not my strong suit since I was a Radio Technician in the Air Force.  It is essentially Brand New or MINT with the exception of some rub marks I  caused on the exterior door from moving it with my small fork lift...........I'll see if I can get some nice pictures to post up on the net.  I keep my Shelter in the warehouse,  along with my TRC-97 MicroWave Shelter and associated Trailer Package. I'd sure like to get my GRM-94 Electronic Maintenance Shelter inside so I could load up the Test Equipment  and start using it to maintain and service all these boatanchors.  I'd love to fine a nice M-37 Troop Carrier to Load the GRC-142 up onto, but I'd happi
ly settle for an M-880 Dodge from the 70's or early 80's.  I'm also looking for a M-151A1 or A2 to mount my AN/GRC-153A Communications Element, and get out and do some shows.
