I picked up a station out of Iraq that was sending covert messages to fighters against Muqtada Al Sadr.

Yeah the darn thing was a mechanical and electrical marvel.
I would listen to baseball on that in places I cant tell you about on a AN/BRD-7.

Where were you in '71 ? 1971? I was jungle dancing in the Ashau Valley up near Laos... setting up ambush for some slanty eye commies during that Lam Son 719 fiasco. A good time was had by all... Right unkus? LOL!

When Hurricane Ike hit here, there were some panicked people on FR who where in the wake.
I was listening to HAMS on Galveston Island that were up at transmitting.
Cell phones are out, electric is out, internet is out.
A 12v battery, radio and a piece of wire gets the word out.
A simple portable SW radio wont get you images of Shep Smith or Geraldo yucking it up(though you can send pictures via SW), it gets you real time news when the other systems fail.

Yes in English, It was set up as a commercial radio station.
The covert part was word play.

Iranian SW propaganda would shock you.
They beam it to the west.
They use a western NPR format.
They run all the anti west talking points while using western formats.
Makes Voice of Russia sound reasonable LoL

So the Larb Gai wasnt so good eh?LOL! During LRRP's we didn't mix much with the local clientele... Wasn't a good way to stay healthy! Had some dishes the ARVN boys made... not bad in most cases! Never could get the hang of that fish sauce though...

thanks; BTW in 71 my older brother just got his driver's license and I always begged him to take me driving because the radio sounded so great in his car. He had a Chevy Belair. I forget how much gas was but it could not have been more than 50 cents a gallon. What carefree fun times we had..

Yes I have used it. and it had become my favorite portable until it was stolen last month.
I like its controls and its reception.
Its sturdy and it recharges battery’s in the radio
