On another note. In 1956 during the Suez Crisis we had our F-84Fs flying cover for the B-47s out over the Caribbean. The F-84s were flying at 39,000ft. The F-84s had ARC-33s. We could hear the radio traffic in the shop at Bergstom AFB in Austin Tx.

Only problem was the ARC 13 was in the rear compartment and 13 ft to the ground. A few were dropped trying to get them out. Sure did have good coverage from 40,000 ft.

Most worked their way up through electronic service in one way or another.
