[Milsurplus] USS COD SS-224

[ka8vit at ka8vit.com]

Yep. One of those videos is of the number 4 running.



We will be firing up the two main engines (3 & 4) in the

after engine  room Tuesday for some crewmen from the

USS OHIO who will be visiting.



It is Navy Week here in Cleveland this week, (starting

the 27th).



A lot of stuff going on.



Most of the WW2 radio gear works.



Unfortunately, the TBL-7 isn't.



The Drake has been aboard for the last 15-years or so.



It is the primary ham rig used.



The videos were filmed with a few different cameras.



The older ones were shot on videotape and then digitized.



The newer ones with a small, cigarette pack sized HD video

camera in 720x480 mode.



One of the problems with filming in the boat is that it is

really hard to get far enough away from something to really

film it correctly.
