Radio Room Larry Hand The Radio Room: About 10ft by 6 ft with two operating positions outboard. as you enter the main high frequency transmitter sat on the right. On the left was the Ultra high frequency transceiver, next to that was a seconday HF. transceiver. Above the operating positions were two HF receivers and one VLF receiver, this was how we received all the information from SUBLANT and anyother navy offices or headquarters. Patch panels and antenna cables filled any left over space. During a shipyard stay we managed to have Formica and CRS covered operating positions with top of the line IBM Selectric typewriters. (the barter system was used). With all the equipment and available space, there was room to get in, turn around and get out. I am sure I have left out some items but after 30 some years the memory bank is slightly faulty. Larry Hand RMCS(SS) USNRET
