[Milsurplus] R-1451/WLR-6 seen on the auction place

[Edward J White]

Hi Gang:
Back in the late 60's I was at a radio site in VA to install a AGRT for a 
company I worked for. The radio equipment that was used to receive was all 
done by Sylvania and was used for hi speed CW communications. I was told 
that each piece of the system was built separate from the system so that 
only a hand full of people would know what it was used for. The system was 
TS to all the radio operators and Tech. With the tech. knowing how the 
entire system was used. I think the system is stilled used today? But I have 
seen at least a oscillator section on the hamfest somewhere. I would think 
that manuals were destroyed.
