[Milsurplus] RAK AND RAL RAB landed at SMECC anyone got a good link list?

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Hello to all!!!  Oh WOW!   this is  good  new band!  Can we run RTTY on 
that band?


OK looked at receivers -   I was wrong on   the rXX nomenclature on one.... 
We are still happy as they go to 15  KHz
 
#1 - CND-46155 part of rak-7    made by   RCA  !   Yes! seems to have power 
supply, however, the cord   is shot. sn 1563
 
#2 RBL-3  sn 363  (weird looks like   flat  national knobs but made by 
Wells Gardner. has  interesting
CHICAGO ILLINOIS  with a decorative thick walled  circle  on the 2 knob 
escutcheon   on top right side knobs. Neat  indeed.
My wild  guess it was  used in  Chicago Navy  radio school maybe touched by 
 hands of Captain   Eddy? <grin>  (would sent pic but do not think the 
reflector likes it?)
 
#3 some   national  dog house style  power  supply  It is not in grabbing 
distance at moment.  perhaps is for the  National knobed  but made by Wells 
Gardner RBL-3?
 
Sorry  Hue  and  Brian, it was not  that   rare  one ... I had my letters 
mixed.  That one would  have been great to have  too!
 
I like these they were a contribution to the museum project  here.
 
I was looking  for the low  freq  companion for  the RBM HF I have but 
these  are cool... and we always seem to get things  offered from back east  
thus  the RAK shipping would be a  KILLER!
 
This was a drive   down the street.....

That will be 472 to 479 kHz, 630 meters.

My best VLF/LF/MF receiver is a R-1134B/WRR-3 (14 to 600  kHz, all vacuum 
tubes).  That's the same model that was on almost all USN  surface vessels in 
the 1960s to 1980s that was used for, among other things,  keeping watch on 
500 kHz.  We had one on board SSBN-629, although  submarines were not 
required to watch 500 kHz...and it was not used for the  normal submarine VLF 
reception.

I have a T-588/ART-33 that was used on  some USCG aircraft to provide MF 
Morse maritime band transmission.  It is  crystal-controlled for all the 
standard merchant vessel MF Morse channels from  410 to 535 kHz.  It is local 
control only, probably about 40 watts  output, 400 Hz AC power (unfortunately). 
 It uses a remote-operated  trailing-wire antenna.  I don't know what 
receiver the USCG used with the  AN/ART-33.  They could have done reasonably well 
with a  R-23A/ARC-5.  Before I found the AN/ART-33, I was unaware that any 
USCG  aircraft had MF Morse capability.

I preferred listening to the maritime  MF Morse band more than to any other 
frequency segment.  I miss it  greatly...especially 500 kHz at night.
