Aren't you the guy who I got a manual for a PRR-9/PRT-4 squad radio
from my reserver unit just before you graduated?

Seems to me you wanted to put it on 6M.

No, that wasn't me.

At the time, I was WB6EEP. I later morphed into WB6SSY and recently
upgraded to AE6KS. I was playing with Low Band, VHF, and UHF
commercial FM radios in college. I built a 6 meter FM repeater with
phone patch even before I went to Cal Poly so that I could make long
distance calls for cheap from the dorms.

Yep... tubes. I was also involved in building several local ham
repeaters and worked part time at a local two-way shop.

A radio like the AN/PRT-4a would have been useful:

However, I don't recall ever seeing one around the skool, or in use by
any of the other hams. Mostly we preferred GE, Motorola, and RCA
commerical FM radios (in that order), which were available in
abundance as a result of the original FCC narrow banding ordeal
process.

Also, just before I was graduated(1), I was in a state of panic and in
danger of getting drafted. I had to quit all outside activities,
including part time employment and ham radio, and study sufficiently
hard in order to insure that I graduate. Failure would have meant
that I would probably get to use one of those squad radios, in Viet
Nam.


(1) The debate among the instructors was whether to fail my senior
project, thus requiring me to take another year of classes, or to get
rid of me by handing me my diploma with instructions go as far away as
possible. Fortunately, the latter group won.

You sure you aren't just trying to get out of giving me the manual
back? :-)

Not sure after all these years why the manual was wanted, but I do
remember the Jeff I knew going to Thousand Oaks before I lost track
of him.

Yes, I'm sure. I don't have too many military radio manuals. Plenty
of test equipment and commercial radio manuals, but no military. I'm
slowly scanning them to PDF and selling the cellulose on eBay.

Not me. Somewhat after Cal Poly Pomona, I went to Israel for a short
while. When I returned, it was Smog Angeles - Capitola - Santa
Clara - East San Jose - and finally to Ben Lomond. The family
accountant had an office in Thousand Oaks, but I never lived there. I
don't recall any other Jeff at my college that was also a ham.
Sorry(tm).
