Project HQ is inAdelaide South Australia - 

This is the goal, to have it all working and it's part way there... 

maybe you can help ..we are ready to buy any parts that are needed .

one of the problems of course is that Australia does not have many if any BC-610

transmitters - and none that appear to be for sale. We are prepared to bring one into

Australia if needed. many of the smaller parts have come in from overseas already .

This is intended to be a restoration that goes out on events,and is used once a year

at a large Military vehicle event, and also for Amateur radio recreation.         

A special 'Ham' radio QSL card will be issued for the first 100 stations to contact this vehcile when restored by Ham radio.

When -  that's a good question ,  - Aprrox late in   2012 if things go well.   We will keep this website up to date,

ITEMS STILL TO FIND:

We  need to find the the main  CABIN  / SHELTER  -below-   ---      photo from original manual .

We do have the antennas, bases  , but do need the HO-17-A Shelter or drawings to make one.

'Down here' in Australia we don't even have a wreck to measure up from, so we're looking to the outside world for help

And we are looking for a PE95 Generator Also.     

AND A -52-E GENERATOR TRAILER    .... 

and drawings for the Radio chest -  pictured below -  CH-121-A   , and CH-120-A   and we are offering some money for drawings-copy of.  

The chance of finding genuine ones is small, and they could  be made here in Australia

The Heater -  investigating....not sure about the design here yet...

This diagram shows  our interst in drawings - or the real thing -    items blanked out we already have.
