[MRCA] AN/TRC-1

[Mike Feher]

I met Victor (W2VC) on numerous occasions and was at his QTH a few times. At one time he even showed up at the Hightstown radio meet. His last name is actually Colaguori. I knew his brother Tony (W2GUM) a lot more as I saw him almost every week at a weekly dinner luncheon at a diner across the street from the front gates of Fort Monmouth. 73 - Mike

Jeff,

I didn't know much at all about Victor Coliguori, but the name rang a bell, and I took a look at a presentation I did at InfoAge in 2011 on "Signal Corps Information Technology
during World War II."  Victor, a civilian working for the Signal Corps, hit the beach at Omaha late on D-day, and by about D+4 had a multiplexed ANTRACK link running back to England.  Among other things it was used to move aerial recon. photos back to Normandy from the airfield at Middle Wallop (only in the UK :-)) via FAX.
