[R-390] I ran across this interesting little tid-bit

Fellows,

The North Koreans have the USS Pueblo on display. One of the tour guides is 
the Captain of the ship that captured the USS Pueblo. What a wonderful 
retirement plan. If you ever get to North Korea you can go for a tour. Have your photo 
taken while standing next to a shell hole in the super structure.

The ship was on TV last week. They showed some nice shots of the R390/A s.
The Koreans were wanting to give the ship back some time ago. But got pissed 
over something that was said in Washington and are still keeping the ship.

All the remote controlled receivers I worked with were VHF UHF links. With 
that many crew men on board why remote a receiver? Where are you going to link 
it to? Who is going to keep the antenna platform stable and pointed at the 
satellite? More likely was the use of wide band tape recordings that could be 
carried home and run over and over until every last radio transmission was eked 
off the tape and analyzed for content.
