[Milsurplus] SC-901X, more

[Hubert Miller]

I hoped to find a photo of the SC-901X SSB exciter in situ, but no luck.
However, looking for the mentioned "ICBM museum Tucson", brought the web page for a really interesting museum that
I absolutely will have to visit. And, BTW, you can even use their 80 foot tall HF discone antenna.

Has nice photo of the antenna. Genuine Collins product !

>Ham Radio Operators, you can now broadcast and listen on the discone antenna at the Titan Missile Museum. 
When the Titan II 571-7 became operational in 1963, its communication system included a large, broadband discone antenna that is still standing today. Built by Collins Radio Company, the antenna is 80 feet tall and has a large crown, enabling it to radiate signals over a wide range of frequencies.
If you're an amateur radio operator, you can use the antenna free of charge when the museum is open. Here's what you need to know:
. Step into the Visitor Center and ask for the antenna log book.
. Read the instructions and sign the book
. Drive to the antenna and park near the table
. Open the metal box and roll out the coax cable
. Connect your radio using the PL-259 connector on the end of the cable
. When finished, please roll up and return the cable to the box
