[GreenKeys] 1963 USN Communications Center

[Don Robert House]

Must have been pretty noisy with all of those BRPE Hi-Speed tape  
punches running.  I wonder where the tape fed from...
The cabinets with lights and doors apparently house a couple of M28 RT  
sets.

Is the Naval Communications Station still in Greece?
