[Milsurplus] YE-YG/ZB presentation this coming Wednesday

[Hubert Miller]

If you had the ARR-2 test set, you could actually have a working setup. As far as receive and transmit anyway. Devising a way to key the sectors would be 
your challenge. 
I have not seen any ship manifest but i'd guess considering the crucial role of the equipment, that two transmitters would be onboard. I would also
guess the antenna would be most likely to give trouble. I posted here long ago some quote from a WW2 Pacific carrier pilot reminisce where he mentioned
an incident of trouble with the system's ship antenna. I also posted here long ago about this surplus store in Seattle, it was in an old disused brick brewery 
in South Seattle, that had a YG transmitter in perfect condition. It sat there in one room for years, and no doubt became scrap metal when the business
was liquidated. I'll have to ask my friend Greg what the business name was. They had bins of military surplus connectors and priced something  like 50 to
75 cents each. He was one of the connector mavens and would dig thru the bins for treasures.
I have a listing of YG-YE stations throughout the Pacific in 1945 and i'll eventually post it.

>First of all, I want to again thank J.M. Franke for sending me both an ARR-1 and an ARR-2 for me to use in my upcoming presentation of the subject system.

Although I have gathered a lot of information on this system, (which I find extremely
fascinating) much of which I am including in my upcoming presentation, I am making one last appeal for any further, less common, information on the system from those on this forum.

One thing I would like to have and so far have not gotten is the type and model of the transmitter used with the system, how much power output it produced, how reliable it was, etc.

Thanks to all.
