Hopi...Tom, I found a video of your baby on YouTube. Hoping you don't mind the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG_fd_cZeiU<br /><br />I loved listening to the world in the late 50s and early 60s on my Hallicrafters S-107. Heard the Cuban Missile Crisis first hand on both VOA, Radio Moscow and Radio Cuba.<br /><br />A bit later, we had a few rather engaging folks with substantial equipment aboard my ship when we deployed somewhere offshore of Norway. I forgot which exact direction Norway was - I think it was somewhere to the south, and maybe southwest. Our guys were CTs (communications Technicians), and a few spoke with accents.<br /><br />My Navy rating was rather obscure, being designated an AX - Aviation Antisubmarine Warfare Technician.<br /><br />Unlike today, we knew who our adversary was and were allowed to engage them in a limited fashion.SJBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396634140715010591noreply@blogger.com
