   Tom,   
      
   I was onboard several Aircraft Carriers 1960-1962 and there were R-390   
   receivers in the Radio Room but they weren't in the URR style case.   
      
   I've never owned any Collins gear, just drooled over it.   
      
   In 1962 the Officer who was Custodian of the Ham Station at NAS Alameda,   
   California changed to someone who loved Collins gear and when I got back   
   from overseas, I had to be 'checked out' before I could use the new   
   S-Line on CW.   
      
   That man traded in a Central Electronics 100V TX and CE 600L Amp for the   
   Collins S-Line TX and RX.   
      
   I loved using the CE gear and I was really hurt that He did that.   
      
   I went to the Ham store in Oakland,CA and looked at the CE gear he   
   traded in, but being an E-3 I couldn't come up with the money to send   
   them to my home so I could had use them after I got my discharge from   
   the Navy.   
      
   After I got home another Ham had Collins S Line stuff and I'd help Him   
   calculate the frequency for a 10M Crystal he wanted to order to use in   
   his receiver for OSCAR.   
      
   Also the County Civil Defense Office had S-Line gear, and I got to   
   operate it once in a while.
