Which one of super chief's ships had over 30 HF transmitters,
and all of them 1 KW or higher?


All "big-time radio communications experience" does not happen on HF,
30 transmitters is not a remarkable number of transmitters, and power
levels of a mere 1KW are distinctly small-time. But to satisfy your
criteria, here are a few examples of my assignments with more than 30
transmitters, 1KW or larger.

At NAVRADSTA(T) Barrigada 78 transmitters none smaller than 5KW
(AN/FRT-39). Largest was 200KW (AN/FRT-72).
At USS Annapolis AGMR-1 48 transmitters, none smaller than 1KW
(AN/URT-23). Largest was 40KW (AN/FRT-40).
At NAVRADSTA(T) Driver 55 transmitters none smaller than 10KW
(AN/FRT-39B). Largest was 600KW (AN/FRT-100).
At COMSECONDFLT, uncounted transmitters situated on more than 150 ships,
including 8 aircraft carriers.

How many 200 KW and 600KW transmitters did the super corporal of ADA
operate?

With all kind wishes,

Hans Brakob
Master Chief Radioman, US Navy



Hello, Hans

Most interesting, indeed. Just out of curiosity, do you have an idea of how
much power the Navy uses on the VLF stuff? Just curious. When you start
talking 6 zeros in the power level, three zeroes *does* start to look pretty
small time
