Here is My radio shelter in the truck.
It is an S-89 shelter that origianly was built in the 50's with a GRN-4 in it. That is a radio navigaional beacon that transmitted a VLF signal about 400 Hz, to a compass in an aircraft so that they could navigate to it or pick up several stations and triangulate with them.
Now it has a mixture of equipment in it.
