[R-390] R390a Spotted in video

Sat May 18 00:07:42 EDT 2013

HF was used on launch day well into late 1990's and probably later for booster and spent rocket stage recovery operations. I remember tuning to it a few times on launches.

> In 1976, I had the privileged to visit the, then NASA tracking center near Rosman NC. There, I recall seeing either 4 or 6, R390A's , don't remember for sure,
> In this tracking center that was use to track the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions earlier.. 
> Even though communication to the various space ships was done on VHF and UHF, HF was used from some of the tracking stations at sea.
> 
> I did some more you-tube searches and ran across this wonderful video of the Friendship Seven mission. This was the one with John Glenn in 1962.
> I did spot R390A's at 3.28 and 10;15 minutes into the video. There were other shots where I only saw rack handles and can not confirm that those were 390A's
> This video is almost an hour and was EXCELLENT. Much video of the tracking stations around the globe as well as lots of conversation between John Glenn and the ground stations.
> I'll report video of the R 390A receivers in various applications from those days to the group and would appreciate hearing from others about possible finds.
