[Milsurplus] WCC 1968

[Robert P. Meadows]

Might some of those AR-88s be operated as diversity sets?  I have seen
reference to three receivers in diversity with a rather large "signal
combiner" with an antenna farm that was quite extensive.

When I mentioned this photo some time back, some people asked me for a scan.
This is not that great a scan.

About 200 kB the 2 photos. Even at higher scan, straight from booklet, it's
not that great. Perhaps with a better

scanner I could do better. That's in the future. 

Source is 'RCA Marine Coast Station Information', 1968. Has WCC, WOE, WPA,
KPH, KHK, DZR, WPD; frequencies,

hours, and rates. What an Empire !

The question was posed, do the AR-88 receivers have any kind of automatic or
remote tuning facility ? It is clear

in the original photo, the AR-88s are stock. In the photo, 4 AR-88 receiving
positions are evident; 3 are staffed.

The center position operator is clearly adjusting the tuning knob on his
AR-88.
