[TMC] 1963 photos - vans full of TMC and Teletype gear.

[Nick England]

In 1963, the USN tasked TMC to develop a Transportable Communications
Center AN/TSC-35 (Project Judy).
Thanks to preservationists John Poulton and Neal DePasquale, I have scanned
dozens of photos of the van interiors prior to shipment and some during the
installation process (prior to crypto gear install).

The Commcenter/Receiver section consisted of twenty 40' vans full of
equipment that were bolted together on site. They were shipped to Nea Makri
Greece and installed to create NAVCOMMSTA Greece in late 1963.

The DDR-5's shown were replaced by R-1051 receivers later

I have just started scanning the Transmitter Site photos

There were 10 ea. SBT-1K, 37 ea. GPT-10K, 16 ea. GPT-40K, and 1 ea.
GPT-200K - Hubba Hubba!

If you are really curious, the station tech manual is on line
