Subject: Generic Spy Radio Inquiry

	In my usual backwards fashion, I've uncovered the
	case for an old Ampex Model 600 Tape Recorder which
	leads me to plan the construction of a "Spy Radio",
	the type built into a small suitcase.  I have a
	book in which is pictured a British Type B Mark II
	unit, but no details on the characteristics other
	than that it "had a range of 2500 km".

	It would be deeply appreciated if some kind and
	knowledgeable soul could just gimme the basic
	characteristics of a "typical" spy set: power
	source, input to final stage, freq coverage, etc.

	I suspect that the receivers would not be regen 
	types, for obvious reasons, so I might use the GRC-9 
	receiver I bought from Fair Radio some years back,
	although I feel a regen would be more fun!

	Thanks in advance, 

	WB6BYH              tomrice@netcom.com

   Dear Gang,
   "at abt 9pm tonite" What is this in UTC?
   Hope this ain't too dumb, but I don't know what "abt" is.
   Thank you,
   Walter

I thought I saw some posts abt a net with these groups.
Is there one? What time, date, Freq? Even if it's down on 7050,
I still would like to listen.

Thanks for info

Hey Walter,

if the time is Central Standard or whatever then 9 pm is 0200 UTC, if it's
Eastern, 9 pm is 0100 UTC, Mountain or California time, 9 pm is 0400 UTC.
I hope that I didn't confuse you Walter.  Basically UTC is 5 hours ahead
of CST.

"at abt 9pm tonite" would mean at about 9 pm tonite.  abt means about for
short Walter.  Matt, AE4JM

Subject: FS: Radio Boys and Similar Books

I have the following "Radio Boys" and similar books for sale:


By Alan Chapman:
	"The Radio Boys at the Sending Station"
	"The Radio Boys Trailing A Voice"
	"The Radio Boys With the Forest Rangers"
	"The Radio Boys At Ocean Point"
	"The Radio Boys At Mountain Pass"
	"The Radio Boys With the Flood Fighters"


By J.W. Duffield:
	"Radio Boys Under the Sea"

By Francis A. Collins:
	"The Wireless Man - His Work and Adventures on Land and Sea"


By Victor Appleton:
	"Tom Swift and His Photo Telephone"
	"Tom Swift and His Television Detector"


All the books are in very nice condition with good bindings.  None 
have dust jackets.  Because of the type paper used, some of the pages 
of some of the books have yellowed over the years.

All the books are $20 each plus $2 shipping with the exception of the 
"Tom Swift" books which are $30 each plus $2 shipping.  I'll sell the 
entire lot for $200 plus $7 shipping.  All prices are firm.

Thanks.
