[R-390] Presidential Communications Railroad Car (Crate)

Larry,
Thank you very much for this most interesting piece. I actually knew one of the ww2 CW ops detailed to this assignment. Tyler Page of Oxon Hill, Md. Unfortunately I do not remember his ham call and also unfortunately I did not ask enough questions before he passed away some 20+ years ago.
Cheers and a pleasant 4th of July to all.

I just put a new historical document out on our website, r-390a.net,
courtesy of Les Locklear.  It's about the Presidential Communications
Railroad Car used from 1942 through 1961.  Here's a direct link to it:
The Presidential Communications Railroad Car / “ (coldwar-c4i.net)
<https://coldwar-c4i.net/crate/the_presidential_communications_railroad_car_crate.pdf>
.

In the picture on page 3 from 1956, notice the radio control console
contained 2 SP-600's and  2 R-390A's.  See the picture on page 8 and notice
in 1961 that there are 4 R-390A's.  Enjoy.  Thanks Les.

Regards, Larry
