I can't confirm this but I read somewhere that blowing sand caused a
static charge buildup on antennas which zapped receiver front ends. The
rumored fix was to bring some R390 receivers out of mothballs!
Maybe you can find info on this at the Army Communicator magazine web
site. They have articles from back issues posted.
