Hey You Military Radio People

[W1QWT]

I am building a Navy WW2 - Korean era vintage radio operators position for a
local museum. This museum is at the site of where Thomas Watson built WW1
destroyers in Braintree, MA. Our radio club, K1USN, now calls this site our home.
Our web site is: http://k1usn.org/





Above is the display I have made so far with more work to do. I figure it is better
to have this at a museum where more people will see it and where new hams who
have never tuned a transmitter and zero beated it to a received signal will have a chance to do it.
Anyway my problem is that to make it more realistic I need a "radio watch log sheet" for the mill.
 I was a radioman myself many years ago and I remember having a column where times were entered, another freqs, and another callsigns, and often in the rightmost column I would just type "no sigs" or whatever I heard.
Anybody have a copy of an RM3&2 with a sample of this log or does anyone remember?
Incase your wondering there is a TCS 12 receiver/xmtr set in this display, a RBL-2, and a RAO-2 rcvr.

Best Regards

Nice job on the display. If you can remember what the Navy radio log sheets looked like it's easy to make one up.  Or, one might be in here:

It's not in this one, but a lot o fun stuff is:

Nice job, Q! Looks like it's shaping up nicely.

I'm going to guess you checked with Rob Flory since you know him. If you'd like, I can post a query to the milsurplus reflector and see what folks have.

nice looking station and hope to work you when you get it going. you might want to post a wanted request for that log sheet on the Military Collector's Forum area of www.gunboards.com  a site i use a lot for one of my other hobbies. if it exsists in the militaria collector's world you will likely find somebody has it there.

Q,

Good luck on the ststion. Are you going to make it operational?

I check in to the Old Military Radio Net on most Sunday nights at 9PM and we have quite few interesting sets come in. The TDE/RBB on the WW2LST station that Perry runs up and down the ol miss and the USS Massachusetts sometimes check in. Dale KW1I runs a Liberty Ship station with a Mackay Marine. I have a TCS setup. I have a few odd TCS connectors if you need some.

Hi Mike,
YEs I could use 1 TCS xmtr receptical and 2 TCS rcvr recepticals.
What do you want for them?
Todd posted a msg for me on a military reflector and Perry replied that he had some logs so things are looking up
all the way around.

I also have a TCS 12 set in my shack to remind me of my old Radioman days in the Navy.

Q,

I will look but I think I have the wrong side - the chassis side, not the plug. I do have some odd power supply cables which are associated with other parts of the setup. Do you have the worlds most overdone AC power supply?

What supply is this?

Yes I need the plug side.
