Must have been an Atlas 210.  I worked a Field Day event using a 
friends's Atlas that had been equipped with a braille dial so you 
could pretty easily read the frequency, Jim WA6EKS

Subject: VP8 Falkland Islands

I have worked the Falklands many times over the years and well 
remember the
war England got into with Lu, Argentina, that resulted in a lot 
of deaths
for no reason other than Argentina said the islands belonged to 
them.  A ham
had one of the first solid state rigs, what was it called, the 
number was
210 but I can't recall the company name.  Anyhow, he sneaked 
around from
house to house, setting up a temporary antenna, and kept the 
British
informed of ground troop movements and all.  I think I read about 
that back
in the days World Radio News was still being published.  I'd sure 
hate to be
down there in that type of weather right now.  None of the 
expeditions have
got to be easy even in nice weather.

Phil.
