The M38 and the RT-524 would never have crossed paths in service, would
they? Different generations. M38's would've been long gone by the time the
RT-524 was deployed in anything like large numbers in U.S. service.
Depending on when and where it would've been used, I would think something
like the RT-68 and friends or even an AN/GRC-9 type thing would be what you
would've had in service. I think the M38 and M38A1 both use the MP-50 mount
with the AB-15 antenna base and a bunch of copper whip (AB-21-22-23-24 or
the MS-116-177-118 sections.) www.fairradio.com has the AB-15 and the
copper whip, and http://www.sphynx.com/mitymite/bemakm38.html has BEMAK
repro MP-50s and the corner bracket.
