EV>I found a page that show a picture of the SRT-14 Transmitter.   
      
   EV>I got to learn how to Tune it Up while aboard Navy Air Craft Carriers,   
   EV>and I fell in love with the Rig back in 1960-62.   
      
   EV>After seeing what it looked like again on a web page (below) I thought   
   EV>about Your Service aboard Submarines and wondered what LF and HF   
   EV>Transmitter was used aboard Your U Boat back then? If You Can.   
      
   I do not recall the Military designation but it was a Collins   
   Transmitter.   
      
   EV>I have heard that Radiomen on Subs got their Broadcasts on VLF instead   
   EV>of HF because VLF RF Signals could be received while the Sub was   
   EV>submerged.   
      
   That is true. Except in energancies we maintained radio silence when   
   on partol. And receptionof traffic was VLF. The subs used a   
   floating wire antenna that could be trailed out of the rear of the sail   
   structure. It was retracted when no needed. Transmissions were on HF and   
   there was a retractable, like  Periscope, antenna that was used at   
   periscope depth.   
   In my day they experimented with burst transmissions. I am sure in this   
   computer they are a little more hi tech but in my day they used a reel   
   to reel tape deck. The radioman prepaired the message and put it on the   
   tape with cue marks for triggering the transmitter. The tape deck was   
   run at FAST forward speed and sent the message   
      
   EV>I thought that in the 1960's they probably didn't use VLF or LF to   
   EV>Send their Message Traffic to Sub Command, but used HF frequencies by   
   EV>rising the Sub just below the surface and raising the HF Antenna above   
   EV>the Water Line to pass any messages they had to Send.   
      
   EV>Knowing the size of the SRT-14 I wouldn't think there would be any room   
   EV>for one on a Sub.   ???   
      
   EV>Look at the Size and Discription of the SRT-14, SRT-15 and SRT-16 on the   
   EV>page I found about them and other Navy Gear at:
