[Milsurplus] For Navy FM eyes only / D-day TV

[Unserviceable but Repairable]

That's a LST radio room in 1952 with kb8npr @ mike.  He visited LST325
at Louisville (Jeffersonville)

My favorite is the set in the corner under the TCS

And... observation dept.  

   i.  the McCook cudn't have come in & laid down fire 'til it was known
       Pt. du Hoc wasn't a threat.  10A earliest.

  ii.  611 relay thru Sherman 508.  Know Navy had att'ly 608s (27-38) but 
       dunno abt armor 508s (20-27 fm).  Think 608s picked 'cause
       smaller antennas

       Met a W5 @ Shelby 5 yr.s back.  Was on a fleet tug that had FOUR
       946 V-12 "LST/streamliner" diesels.  His had a 659 on stern to
       work shore for beach drag-offs.  Hams used 659s to talk all
       over Pacific on 27-38 sporadic E in spring of '45 - at least so
       sed he.

 iii.  sevaral shots of BC1000s being lugged ashore.  I dint c a 659 
       backpack.

  iv.  Screamin' mimi.  The narrative was dead-on about the radio "walking
       the naval gunner" right in to a direct hit.

       And all we'll ever be able to do is guess that radio's identity
