[BC] AM Radio Kit

[Chuck Lakaytis]

My first bootleg was a BC-610 with that great antenna tuner that would load
up anything.  The final was a 250 TH. I think I modified it for grid
modulation of some sort.

What else was one to do, bored out of your skull at Fort Monmouth?

Ah, and any one of those CB'ers could have "commandeered" your station by 
just keying the mic! How often did you have that happen?

Cool setup, tho! :)
