US Marines of a Tactical Air Control Party with the First Marine Division in combat at the Chosin Reservoir operating a GRC-9 transmitter-receiver. Note the weapon cleaning rod likely being used for a ground rod. GN-58 hand cranked generator, cold weather, possibly watching Marine Corps Corsairs rolling in on target: NK or ChiCom troops danger-close. Hopefully it got REAL HOT for the Reds in short order. Field day of the highest order, not fun. But I bet it did the job… The Marine holding the T-17 is likely a pilot from the supporting Marine fighter squadron. The Marines found that this type of assignment produced the best air-ground, close air support coordination possible. Thanks guys. Official USMC Photograph.
Later on……”With voice transmissions ruled out by distances, communications specialists must rely on continuous wave radio operation, using the International Morse Code. They must be able to receive and transmit at the rate of 18 words per minute, perform maintenance up to Third Echelon and even build a working set out of parts at hand. Other team members must be able to work at least five words per minute and know how to set up and operate a radio. Workhorse of the Special Forces is still the dependable Angry Nine, officially the AN/GRC-9.” Special Warfare U.S. Army, Chief of Information, U.S. Army 1962.
The GRC-9 at work with U.S. Army Special Forces and South Vietnamese irregular forces in the central highlands. Note the G-43 generator had replaced the GN-58 in this instance. Official Photograph, U.S. Army 1964. This photo is from a Signal Corps film following a patrol in Vietnam. The film or the person that entered the description in the National Archives file mis-identifies the radio as the GRC-109.

A shot of our Perimeter Defense Force checking out the Company Command Post. Note the GRC-9 AC Power Supply built in the .50 Cal Ammo Box on the ground. Provides all voltages from 120 VAC.
Another shot while sending Ditties from FOB (Forward Operating Base) Margarita….The little AC power supply in the .50 Cal ammo can makes it convenient to work in camp. Especially when you bring the generator to run the Blender anyway!
Would you believe a solar-powered GRC-9? Been there, done that. Here we are set up in the mountains west of Lake Tahoe at OP COMMANDO, monitoring kayak traffic 2000 feet below us on the North Fork of the American River. Panel charged the deep cycle battery which powered the sine wave inverter that powered the ammo box power supply which powered the GRC-9. Inefficient as hell but it worked!

Una cosa, para que no nos maten, es que si vamos a utilizar AM, no salgamos de la porcion exclusiva de ssb que justo esta 7069, por lo tanto para no molestar/molesten deberiamos salir arriba de los 7120. Que les parece?.
El domingo no pude salir, este si esta lindo el dia salgo con el comandito y subo fotos ya que para usarlo tengo que hacer un despliegue importante.
Saludos.
