Aussie CMP Mystery
Hi to all from OZ:
Any idea what this HUP-like HUW wireless is? Sent to me by a guy in Ottawa, from a guy in BC, from a guy in Oz. They think it's Air Force. I'm not sure. Markings on drivers door are illegible so anyone have any ideas? TIA Don

Picture is vaguely familiar
The picture of the HUP is vaguely familiar, thought I’d seen it in the Australian War Memorial Archives http://www.awm.gov.au/ but I have not founded it yet. But maybe some of radio types could narrow the search by identifying type of area and frequency range. For some reason I’m thinking that it is aircraft radio frequency.
Correct my memory not many HUPs in Australia, but definitely used by Australian Forces in other theaters of war. Thought your photo was related to this one but no aerial http://cas.awm.gov.au/item/SUK11997 Cheers Phil

Interesting
The tree does look like a Eucalypt of some kind ... the antenna appears to be a top loaded vertical. The capacity hat ( the radials) on the top are there to make the antenna radiate more ground wave e.g., sideways than sky wave .
Looks like a faint RAAF on the door .... HU vehicles are very rare here ... I know of less than 5 . MIKE

Mysteries
I love a good mystery. Looking at the pic I notice the absence of an Australian ARN on the front shell. I'm not convinced about the 'eucalyptus' either.
The fact the pic was originally sent from Australia doesn't necessarily mean it was taken here of course.

Hoons..
Quote:
Can't be taken in Australia..there would be a herd of hoons in the picture... CMP drivers in Canada... For the non Australia speakers.... Translation.. The term "hoon" has obtained a semi-official use in Australia, with police and Governments referring to legislation targeting anti-social driving activity as "anti-hoon laws". The term has even begun to appear in the titles of legislation, for example the Transport Legislation Amendment (Hoon Boating and Other Amendments) Act 2009 of the State of Victoria.
