[Harold Hairston]

We have a bit more about the "Mystery" Comm Center. This from Bob, KN4HH.

> Hi, Harold.  I may way off but this facility looks
> like  US Army Communications Station WAR located at
> Ft. Dietrick, Maryland.  I was assigned to this
> command in the early 1960's.  We maintained HF voice
> and teletype circuits worldwide.  The transmitter and
> receiver sites were remote from each other since we
> ran full duplex.  We used Collins R388 and R390
> receivers, BC-610 and Collins 10kw twin sideband
> transmitters.  We were part of the Strategic
> Communications Command (SCC) which later became
> STRATCOM.  The most maintenance intensive equipment at
> the station were the Teletype Corporation and
> Klienschmidt mechanical teletype machines.  They ran
> 24/7 and were used for communications between stations
> and quality testing of the TTY circuits.
