[Milsurplus] WW2 Interception Receivers

[Nick England]

The NCVA has details of all the WW2 intercept stations - they have
transcribed a lot of the official records and published them in their
CRYPTOLOG newsletter..

Station CAST (Station C) is what you're looking for.
NCVA published a booklet -
"Intercept Station C From Olongapo through the evacuation of
Corregidor, 1929-1942."
There are some reprints from that at
