Gimp, you are correct. I stopped by on Friday and asked them. They said they are given a heads up on incoming items, to see if they want them at the outlet. If they do, it gets pulled before they list it for auction. Not sure how that works out with their Gov't contract, but that's not my problem.

I know it's an old thread, but I was trying to dig up info on these tractors. The boat is the Navy Mark V Special Operations Craft. Right before separating from the Navy, I was fortunate enough to see 6 of these trucks with boats. They were being staged for delivery in a hangar at NAS Norfolk...
NVIS, interesting. So the design wasn't to communicate with aircraft as much as to bounce the signal off the atmosphere. Being HF, you wouldn't need much power to go a long way.
