[Milsurplus] TCS-12 was main Buff commo system???

[Grif]

Hue-
I think I'm missing something here. I wasn't aware that the FCC had any
jurisdiction over what the military or the government did with their
frequencies. Perhaps the military just chose to also stop using AM?
After all, I think the AF was the first major user of SSB. Or could the
FCC somehow dictate what everybody would do on HF? Or was there
a major international agreement affecting everybody? I wasn't active
during that period, so I don't have any memory of what went on.
