Default Chev wireless van and Jap KANA code

Found this little book written by a former AWAS signaller. She was trained to receive the Japanese KANA code . 70 characters to learn ..... they would do 4 hour shifts inside the van with Kingsley AR7 receivers ..listening to Rabaul and major Jap links ..the Japs often reverted to plain language ... very slack and so on. The unit trained at Bonegilla ..near Wodonga. They were posted to various locations , WA and QLD .

PS looking at the front hub, it appears to be one of the less common 4X4 variants , most of them were the C15 variety.
