It's never been a secret that the agency did its work for many years
and up to today on a budget that was less than the paper towel and
toilet paper expenses of DoD. We bitched about that all the time.

Yet, both the FBI and the Secret Service came to us to teach them
how to use simple DF equipment because they were embarrased calling
us out all the time to find radio signals for them, and in that same
time frame, in competition with the military using feeds from the
same Wullenweber antennas as they were using, and string-and-weight
vectors over paper maps, our monitoring folks got fixes which were
several times tighter than the military folks using the whiz-bang
computer systems did.....

Sorry you missed all the fun.... ggg
