Hi Nick.
I enlisted in 1975 and did a career in the Navy, retiring as ETCS(SW). My first duty station was an AN/FRT-24 transmitter site in Bermuda and finished my career at MOTU-15 in Seattle supporting US Navy and US Coast Guard ships in the North Pacific.
I have been a ham since 1971 (original call WN7ULT) and recently was asked to join the club W7SUB, primarily due to my Navy experience.
We are trying to repair/restore some of the original equipment on the USS Blueback (SS-581) and I am running into issues finding any details on the AN/BRA-11 antenna group. The primary focus is on the C-6249 coupler/controller. Would you by chance have or know anyone that may be able to provide a schematic or info?
The sub is a Barbel class and has an interesting mix of late 50's through late 80's communications & RDF equipment along with a small shed of misc equipment that was donated/given to the club.
There are 2 of the SB-3047/BRC panels but finding the type C to type C cables is proving to be very difficult.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
