[Premium-Rx] Shanghai receiver

[Geoff Fors]

Thanks to Odd-Jorgen, Peter and Dave and others who took the trouble to identify the mystery receiver from my earlier posting, regarding Station XSG, Shanghai.  It turns out to be the JRC NCG-95 Telecontroller.

Apparently "Telecontroller" means remote control, so I am assuming the actual receiver end is somewhere else (a certain varmint who isn't on this list borrowed my Osterman book and has yet to return it...)

By the way, a recent visit to the Livermore, California FCC monitoring facility turned up a completely remote controlled, downsized, unmanned facility using Icom consumer grade HF receivers tied to phone line modems for remote control.  No more live operators and no more Watkins Johnson 8700 series receivers.  For some years the staff had been keeping the WJ sets going by cannibalizing some, to keep the others running.
