The 1/4 ton jeep trailer was designed to accomplish many functions. Two of the most important being the ability to ice down beer and to provide ice baths for trick chiefs!


The infamous Transmitter Distributer (TD) we used on our transmit asile. How we hated getting stuck on the Dirnsa circuits which were normally the busiest ones and there were four of them. The trick was to load three of them with 900 group messages and run short ones on the remaining one.


The source of all our problems. Remember the countless hours spent butterflying (figure eighting) this stuff? If you can still read the tape, drop me an e-mail and tell me what it says.
