[R-390] R-390 Digest, Vol 59, Issue 1

Sun Mar 1 23:26:14 EST 2009

Welcome back, Patrick.
By the way, my wife and I were visiting another couple this weekend, and 
this guy showed me a picture taken of him in 1952 with an AN/GRC-26.  On the 
photo he had marked that the system he was working with cost $65,000.  The 
photographer didn't have a wide angle lens, but you can clearly see the 
R-388 receivers he was using, a teletype machine, and the outlines of a 
transmitter.  He believes it was a BC-610, but he doesn't remember for sure.
There is also an outside photo of the "shack" (or whatever they call the 
outside structure of the radio room) on what he believes is a deuce and a 
half truck.  Two whip antenna's are clearly visible as is a 50 caliber 
machine gun on the rear.
73's,
