Quite right: no B-29s served in Europe because they came on line too
late. In the fictional world of short stories some suspension of
belief is likely, so I think there's an easy way out. In October, well
after even VJ day, the supply sergeant serving our protagonist
inexplicably receives a shipment of ART-13s as "surplus." Never asked
for 'em, doesn't know why he got 'em, but they were duly signed for
and are now his.
I'd really love to use the BC-610, but I can't think of a good way to
for an individual to transport it without making that short story in
itself. In fact, there are many factual short stories about moving --
much less making operational -- BC-610s right here on the web :)
I just sent off quick query to the Signal Corps asking about HF CW
protocols during WW II. That's something that I haven't found *any*
information on outside of a single blurb from the British guy about
operations in Korea.
Now that I've read a bit about the BC-610, I'd love to try my hand at
getting one back on the air :) It looks like the SCR-399 was the
ultimate Field Day set up!
