ANNOUNCEMENTS;
PRC-6 Group Project Update.
	Ralph has finished making all the manual, and inverter info copies and I now have then in hand. There is a minor error in the inverter schematic, but this easily taken care of. I should be able to start shipping all these things out by the middle of this week. 
	There will be a small surplus of the 88mh toroids available, those persons that have multiple PRC-6's coming will ge able to get more than one. The remainder will be offered to the rest of the group.
	The schematics and block diagrams that complement the "Universal Inverter Power Supply Series" are now available via email from Ralph at<rhogan@traveller.com> or <ralph.hogan@vmic.com>. Ralph also has other "Power Up" information available.

PHD KC Hamfest,
	The directors of the PHD Hamvention in Kansas City have provided me with two table to use for a display of historic equipment. Thus I'll be attending this event on July 11th, Hope to see some of you there.
Dennis

Notes: this series begins with the earliest material I have on hand, and will be eventually completed including the latest, leaving out no publication that describes military radio equipment of any kind. By it's completion, if it is treated in the prescribed manner, it should prove to be the single most valuable reference and research tool in existence.
	The material was composed using MS Works, with a font of New Roman Times #12. Borders set top & bottom(1 inch), left & right(1.25 inches). If you follow the same format all the text should be visible on the screen, and the page breaks fall in the correct spots. You'll want to SELECT/COPY/PASTE all the above material(between the --------- line breaks) to this pre-prepared word processor file. Then adding the next instalment to the end of this one once posted.
	The next publications to be transcribed will be in order, TM11-487 1944, Ships 275 1944, then TM11-487 1950. If you have any of these publications, and would like to help by beginning on one of these, the process is simple. Just take each page at at a time, list EVERY military model, part, or component number it contains just as in the above.

My illegal Desert Storm Trophies:
When it was time to return from the Desert after the Gulf war, our chain 
of command told us that we wouldn't be able to take captured 
communications gear or night vision equipment with us.
Thats when I threw away the Russian tank radios.  It hurt.  When we were 
having customs inspect our bags (in the circus tent we wre living in), 
our S-2 told me he had a radio and he didn't want to get caught.  I said 
"Don't worry, Sir, you'll get it back in Germany"  Then I told him to 
look at "That guy over there" and scooped it up (it was a R-108), ran 
into the tent (we were supposed to be waiting outside, but the customs 
guys weren't there.  Anyway, I stashed it in my laundry bag and put it 
under the cot.  (Everything else I owned was on the cot, I don't think 
they ever saw underneath).
When we got back to Germany, the Lt. told me I could have the radio.  
Then I had to sign something saying I had never imported any of this 
gear, and wouldn't.  So...

ed) I don't understand the difficulties you had. I've seen dozens of these Desert Storm trophies, know of dozens more, and own several. They were among the few things our troops could bring home.

Obits,

A couple items interesting to me in this Sunday's Chicago Tribune,  
July 5, 1998 obituaries.

Marion E. Carl, 82, retired Marine major general, highly decorated 
WWII ace considered the "Chuck Yeager of the Marine Corps" because of 
his aerial exploits. Commanded an air unit in Vietnam; June 28, in 
Roseburg, Ore., shot to death by a robber who invaded his home.

What an end for a military man and a general!

Frank Byron Rowlett, 90, one of the four original members of the 
Signal Intelligence Service of the Army in 1930; he helped to build 
Sigaba, the encryption machine that was the most secure device of its 
kind in the American arsenal throughout WWII; he also led the team of 
cryptologists who broke the Purple code.

I do not recall hearing of the "Sigaba" before.

Ed Guzick

                  FRANK ROWLETT CRACKED JAPAN CODE
   Frank B. Rowlett, a premier U.S. cryptographer whose solution to
a major Japanese cipher machine saved hundreds of American lives during
WWII, died yesterday of heart failure in Gaithersburg, MD. He was 90.
   Rowlett supervised the half-dozen Army code-breakers who, after
18 months of effort, cracked the chief Japanese diplomatic cipher
machine - called PURPLE by U.S. officials - in September 1940.
   Though the solution gave no warning of the Pearl Harbor attack
- since no messages alerting anybody to the attack were ever sent -
it paradoxically helped U.S. forces in the European theater.
   The PURPLE machine encrypted the dispatches to Toyko of the
Japanese ambassador in Berlin. One of these detailed German defenses
against the expected Allied invasion, sent after his November 1943
tour of the Atlantic Wall, a line of fortifications. A U.S. radio post
in Ethiopia intercepted it; U.S. code-braekers read it.
   It revealed that tank ditches were "built in a triangular cross
section with a span across the top of 5 meters and a depth of 3.5
meters." Turrets were "built in a continuous line, close to the
shore, each equipped with two or three machine guns as well as
grenade launchers." Rowlett said he believed that the information
from this message alone saved thousands of U.S. lives.
   Rowlett, a soft-spoken, courteous Virginian who had been a
mathematics teacher, joined what was then the Army's Signal Intel-
ligence Service as a junior crypanalyst on April 1 1930. He said in
an interview that he felt his greatest contribution to the PURPLE
attack was his confidence that the machine would be solved.
   He has been awarded the National Security Medal, the Legion
of Merit and the Order of the British Empire.
   Rowlett is survived by his son, Thomas M. Rowlett of Frederick, MD.

  An Italian, an Irishman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a
construction site.  The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the
Italian guy, "You're in charge of sweeping,"  to the Irishman,"You're in charge
of shoveling", and to the Chinese guy, "And you're in charge of supplies.
 
 "Now, I have to leave for a little while.  I expect you guys to make a
dent in that pile."
 
 So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, and when he returns, the
pile of sand is untouched. He says to the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any
of  it?"  The Italian replies, "I didn't have a broom.  You said the Chinese
 guy was in charge of supplies, but he disappeared and I couldn't find
him."
 
 So then the foreman turns to the Irishman and asks why he didn't shovel.
 The Irishman replies, "I couldn't get myself a shovel.  You left the
 Chinese guy in charge of supplies, but I couldn't find him."
 
 The foreman is really ticked off now, and storms off toward the pile of
 sand looking for the Chinese guy.  Just then, the Chinese guy springs
out from a shed and yells:
 
 "SUPPLIES!"
