I plan to listen to the tape when I get back to Georgia. As a purely technical correction, the Skymaster is a Cessna 336/337, not a 210. The mil version of the "Mixmaster" was the O-2, which was easily differentiated from a 336 by the presence of the hard points under the wings (for 2.75" rockets).
Dedicated C&C Hueys had radio consoles installed which had multiple FM, VHF, and UHF radios. That would probably explain the vast amount of traffic that apparently was on the recording. The typical slick had one of each.
Mouth shut until I get home to listen.
