Eureka beacons

[J. Forster]

I am wondering how rare the 'Eureka' beacon (transponder) is. It is designated
AN/PPN-2 and is backpack size. It was used as a pathfinder for parachute drops
during WW II, and was interrogated from the airborn component RT-1A/APN-2 &
BC-929A "Rebecca". The system operated at about 230 MHz and had a range of 50 to
100 miles.

If you have a Rebecca and/or Eureka, or know where one is located, can you
please let me know, off-list if you like?  I'd like to make a little inventory.

Thanks,
John
