ť Topic: HF Antennas for Higgens 78 Pt Boats
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=4266

I am attempting find any information or photographs of the HF whip antenna used in conjunction with the Collins TCS-12 radio set. This information is to be given to PT305 in New Orleans. I am not a member of the PT305 crew. I am only attempting to get the information to give to CO, so he can make the decision as to whether they want to make the radios operational.

UPDATE - I have obtained the photos of the antenna and mount for the Higgens 78's. This info has been sent to JARC and then on to PT305.

Addendum: PT305 will be participating in the NJ2BB museum ships weekend event the first weekend of June. The ham operators will use a field day type setup dockside. There are a lot of warships taking part. 3 CV's, 4 BB's, 3 cruisers, 5 DD's, 9 SS's.. you get the idea. For more info see NJ2BB.org
