[Milsurplus] RAK & "submarine loop"

 GOOD  RECOLLECTION
 
 The AWA ran an art'l by a retired engineer from the Navy's Haiku VLF
 alternator stn in HI.  About 2 yr.s back.  Well written & fascinating.
 
 Seems Haiku cud be copied submerged in the Sea of Japan in '45.
 
 Perhaps ur coupler & the loop u spotted are just the tools for such a feat.
 
   Tnx note Paul
 
      Marty... who saw Pampanito motoring under Golden Gate @ web site
               but no conn-tower loop in evidence

I'm afraid only 'loop poop' in the article's manual & not in an RAK book.
GFL on finding one

And on Goliath in DL.  It was a 1MW alternator in Nauen.  Antenna system 
built in middle of river

We sent 1 new Alexanderson to Wake, 2 retired ones to HI.  Had been
stored at Radio Central - Riverhead, LI.  The Wake example was awol 
when US re-took the island.  Noonan & Earhardt have it?

BAMA indigestion, another case for pdf

Missed .pdf recommendation is it can be electronically searched.  F'rinstance,
the RAL book is a .pdf while the RAK is a djvu that I don't think can be 
so-treated

Took 6 min.s to get the 8.2mb RAL book via cable & a few sec.s to search w/o
score on 'submarine.' (expected).  Only got 12 (of 56) pages into RAL & 
boredom
set in.
