[Milsurplus] Retransmission Question

[Nick England]

Different environment, but shipboard HF-UHF re-transmission was very
common. Destroyers in a task force would run UHF to a carrier with
more powerful HF equipment for communicating with shore stations. And
when the carrier is arming aircraft, its HF transmitters are shut off
but UHF links run to other ships with HF xmtrs.
