Interesting photos!
One thing I found very interesting is that in the radio room there are at least 3 ea R-389 VLF
receivers, and the number of R-390s or R-390As are almost too many to count.
There are 4 in the secure TTY room.
One thing I've always found very interesting is that the entire run of R-389s, something
under 1000 receivers, were built under an ARMY contract, yet the NAVY is the arm which
used VLF almost exclusively.
I've never been able to figure that one out.
I have an R-389 here.
