📍 The PRC-25 radio weighed twenty-three pounds and came with a four-foot antenna that rose above your head like a flag, telling every NVA soldier exactly where you were and marking you as a priority target they were specifically trained to kill first. By 1967, being a radio telephone operator meant accepting some of the worst survival statistics in Vietnam, carrying the weight of keeping your entire platoon connected to artillery support and medevac helicopters while knowing that antenna made you the most hunted man in the jungle.
