[TMRA] USS Requin Submarine Radio History

[Joe Thielen]

For the history buffs out there... I had a chance to visit the Carnegie
Science Center in Pittsburgh, PA this weekend.  This is home to the USS
Requin, a decommissioned submarine.  On board is home to the NY3EC radio
club.  They periodically operate from the subs radio room!  Pretty neat.

On the TMRA website picture gallery I added 4 pics to the "Miscellaneous"
gallery, two of the radio room, and two of some artifacts from the sub...
including an old code book and morse key, as well as a note which reads:

"Did you know?

The Lionel Train Corporation made some of the radio equiment used on
submarines!"

Neat stuff.

Here is a link to the pics:
