Default USS Missouri and R-390A

Actually this radio was overhauled by Rick Mish. I donated it to the
USS Missouri as the radio room looked positively gutted by the navy.
I donated several other radios of different times historically to try
to help out a very good cause. I have not had the chance to get to
Honolulu and see the final result but would be interested in stories
from visitors

Mike:
I was there in September. The 'radio room' is in what the tour guide
referred to as the 'command and communications center' or something like
that. I have sevral pics of that room if you're interested. The entire
setup looked pretty nice with lots of electronics and navigation gear. As
an SWLer, the R-390A caught my eye immediately.
