[R-390] R-390 Sub use

[Tom Chirhart]

The 1051's were great for was HF RATT using the UCC-1 to a KWR-37 to a model 25 printer for the HF broadcast.. When SATCOM arrived we cold ironed HF RATT....We also used the 1051's to guard HF HiComm with a TX on standby, usually a WRT-2. 
On the Orestes circuits we used the 1051's to a URA-17 to a KW-7 to  Model 28 ASR and a WRT-2. Wow the memories from nearly 40 years ago...... RM2, USS Jonas Ingram DD-938... The two 390's we had after FRAM were used for CW drills or AFRS monitoring piped throughout the ship while underway or in foreign ports....
