   Tom,   
      
   I found a page that show a picture of the SRT-14 Transmitter.   
      
   I got to learn how to Tune it Up while aboard Navy Air Craft Carriers,   
   and I fell in love with the Rig back in 1960-62.   
      
   After seeing what it looked like again on a web page (below) I thought   
   about Your Service aboard Submarines and wondered what LF and HF   
   Transmitter was used aboard Your U Boat back then? If You Can.   
      
   I have heard that Radiomen on Subs got their Broadcasts on VLF instead   
   of HF because VLF RF Signals could be received while the Sub was   
   submerged.   
      
   I thought that in the 1960's they probably didn't use VLF or LF to   
   Send their Message Traffic to Sub Command, but used HF frequencies by   
   rising the Sub just below the surface and raising the HF Antenna above   
   the Water Line to pass any messages they had to Send.   
      
   Knowing the size of the SRT-14 I wouldn't think there would be any room   
   for one on a Sub.   ???   
      
   Look at the Size and Discription of the SRT-14, SRT-15 and SRT-16 on the   
   page I found about them and other Navy Gear at:   
      
   www.virhistory.com/navy/xmtr-ship.htm   
      
   Thanks and 73   
   NNNN
