[Milsurplus] Navy radio Morse code?

[Rich Arland]

When I was stationed in the Azores back in 70-73, there was a Navy Chief, Jake Ritzen, CT2AZ, who ran the NAVCOMSTA at Lajes. He helped get my CW speed up with some old Navy 33RPM records. If you do a qrz.com name search maybe you can find him and his stateside call, contact him and maybe, just maybe he has some of these old transcription disk available to dub off. Granted it is a long shot, but maybe worth a try. He was also a member of the Pacific Amateur Radio Guild (PARG) which is a QRP organization originally founded by Howard S. Pyle, W7OE and a few others on the left-coast.
