ANTENNA'S A MUST

MEAN TO CLEAN


Dear Editor. i. .
 We had trouble getting dirt and corrosion out of
the upper end of the AB-15/GR antenna base ..
that is, until we latched onto a .30-cal brush.
 Using an old small arms bore cleaning brush
(FSN 1005-556-4174), we ran it around inside the
antenna section to get 'er clean. The brush works
well by hand or on an electric motor, and really
puts dirt on the run.

O(Ed Note Sounds good .. and it takes only a couple or three spin-arounds of
the brush to get the job done.)


 Whoa ... Don't hit that mike button
unless the antenna is connected to your
AN/PRC-74( ) radio set.

WH=Y=?..

 A fired-up transmitter without an
antenna hookup will burn things out
mighty fast.
 So, just make sure your AS-1887()
PRC-47, slant wire or dipole antenna
is tied into your set before turning the
OFF-ON-TUNE switch to TUNE.
 And, do like it says in TM 11-5820-
590-12 or -12-1 for making the antenna
connection.
