Aiken Advanced Systems manufactured phase-matched HF antenna 
multicouplers which were in "Wullenweber" CDAA antenna systems.  Your 
coffee mug probably was handed out to project personnel who worked on 
the "Enlarger" program, probably an upgrade program.  These kinds of 
coffee mugs, shirts, and other "souvenir" paraphernalia are common in 
government and military programs.
