One of the radio's we used was a Collins KWM2-A transciever and it
blew a tube and resistor on a vital communications link. Within 15
minutes, a new one was acquired at a local Tandy store and up and
running. Our maintenance chief owes his Air Force Commendation Medal
and a great deal of thanks to them.

Your maintenance chief did not have a spare tube and resistor on hand
for a "vital communications link"? Had I been his superior, he would
have gotten something far different than a Commendation Medal!
