  • WA3PYX...I was WN4FLR '67-'68 and entered the Army in mid-'68...determined to be an Infantryman. Got me wish. We provided security for a SF camp near the Camodian border in III Corps for a while and they used a KWM-2 for their long distance commo...seems like it was in the 5 mHz region. I tried to talk their RTO into allowing me to try a little illegal CW on 20M with stateside hams. LOL,,,He told me the ASA would have his ass if he did!

  • I just bought one on ebay. Works great. Audio is superb. de vy 783 de KB4VHW
