For those who have been counting, we have identified about a quarter
to a third of the transmitters that were built.
According to an RCA catalog, over 50 F's were sold ... at the time of
that catalog ... So the final number is still not clear.
Any further help would be appreciated ... just send direct to me. Thanks!
