I recently acquired a "Radio Equipment Log" NAVSHIPS 900,039
This is a bound book with pages to list a ship's radio gear, installation
notes, modifications, tuning info, et. plus check lists for daily & weekly
maintenance etc.
Appeared to be blank & unused until I thumbed completely through it.
No ship name appears anywhere but on a few pages I found a little info dated
Oct-Nov, 1951 and Mar-Apr, 1954

Radios listed in the log:
Transmitter Room - TBM-10, TDE-2, TDE-3, TAJ-19
Radio Central - four RAO-7's, RAK-6, RBH-1, RBK-15, BC-348-J

Hope this is interesting info for someone.
Was I surprised to see a BC-348-J in that list? yup.
Any guesses as to what type of ship this might be? 

cheers,
Nick
