[Boatanchors] USS Midway notes

[Bob Peters]

Army same same or we also ran 75 baud or 100WPM on our tropo and M/W shots
and in house and 45.45 on our HF circuits using freq diversity.
Very reliable. We had over 100 of those stupid machines clikity clacking at
one time and no hearing protection in our Tech Control in NATO ...

What a pain...

Not Navy, but USAF. Our circuits all ran at 45.45 Baud (60 wpm).
