[Milsurplus] USAAF Weather Stations

[Hue Miller]

What did the Army ( USAAF ) weather stations use for radio equipment?
We "know" the Navy equipment was the TBW equipments.
Now how about the Army station? I was reading in Nat'l Geographic 
for May 1946, about the ANNUAL resupply of the wx station
at Skjoldungen, on the east coast of Greenland. This particular
story didn't enumerate the staff of the station, but I believe
I recall reading elsewhere about the number assigned to
a weather station there was 13, with 5 radio people. Such 
stations had to have a pretty good power source, as they
also had to generate hydrogen for the weather balloons.
(Maybe they just used the BC-654 ? )   Like in the 
USAAFCCU film I saw of a hilltop station in New Guinea,
they were using a BC-654, set on a homebuilt rude
wood table. That station had an airfield with it, for light
planes, and I could see it having about a dozen staff,
maybe. On the other hand, a US Army weather station in
the Aleutians, which was captured by Japanese, seems
to have had only 5 staff.
I have a photo of a Japanese weather station in the
Aleutians, using a transmitter of about 200 watt input
level.  
The article I mention above has a photo of a US cargo
ship that was swept onto rocks and grounded in 1942,
apparently just abandoned there, but I have not been
able to locate the name of that ship or the definite
location. The area was Frobisher Bay. I believe the
ship was carrying drums of fuel for the airbase
at Narsarrssauk, Greenland, known as BW-1 in
military histories.  ( ="Big Western 1" )  I wonder if 
due to the remote location, the ship was not exploded,
as seemed common practice in such cases.
