Tom,

I was onboard several Aircraft Carriers 1960-1962 and there were R-390
receivers in the Radio Room but they weren't in the URR style case.

I've never owned any Collins gear, just drooled over it.

In 1962 the Officer who was Custodian of the Ham Station at NAS Alameda,
California changed to someone who loved Collins gear and when I got back
from overseas, I had to be 'checked out' before I could use the new
S-Line on CW.

That man traded in a Central Electronics 100V TX and CE 600L Amp for the
Collins S-Line TX and RX.

I loved using the CE gear and I was really hurt that He did that.

I went to the Ham store in Oakland,CA and looked at the CE gear he
traded in, but being an E-3 I couldn't come up with the money to send
them to my home so I could had use them after I got my discharge from
the Navy.

After I got home another Ham had Collins S Line stuff and I'd help Him
calculate the frequency for a 10M Crystal he wanted to order to use in
his receiver for OSCAR.

Also the County Civil Defense Office had S-Line gear, and I got to
operate it once in a while.
