[MRCA] USCG 36-Foot Motor Lifeboat Radio

[crp.wd8axb at comcast.net]

Al, 

There is the Great Lakes History Museum in South Haven, Michigan. It is the home of many USCG floating artifacts. 
The museum might have the same kind of lifeboat. 

73, Charlie Pfister WD8AXB 


The 36's predate me but I'm sure some members if CG ZUT likely know... There was a 36' on display at Coast Guard Group (now Sector) Duluth MN years ago but I'm not sure if it has/had a radio or antenna in it..73 Tom K4NCG RMC USCG-retired 




Gang, 

A gentleman here in NJ has approached the Radio Technology Museum looking for info on the radio installation on this boat, especially the source of an antenna.

Says "U. S. Coast Guard Radio Transmitter receiver TRC-120." I'm pretty certain it's not AN/TRC-120. The boats themselves date to the Pre-WWII era.

Antenna detail. 

Any help appreciated. 

Al
