I suppose not many know this, but way back in the '60's
when transistors were coming in, DOD had a real fear
that an atomic detonation at a high altitude over the US
would destroy a great many communications facilities if
they used transistors in critical circuits.   DOD gathered
up all the tube type transceivers, such as the Collins S-Line,
and stashed them inside the mountain in Colorado.   It
was years later that those radios finally got into the military
MARS channels.
