[R-390] The BFO pitch counter dial?

[Grayson Evans]

Hey Norman,

There is a BIG listening station still in operation about 30km south on Ankara.  I wonder if this is the place you are talking about.  
This is the Google map link:

I attached a photo of the place I got off the internet.
I can’t find any reference to it anywhere.  Not one of the cold war submarine listening stations I think, they were in Izmir and on the coast.
