Which one of super chief's ships had over 30 HF transmitters,
and all of them 1 KW or higher?


All "big-time radio communications experience" does not happen on HF,
30 transmitters is not a remarkable number of transmitters, and power
levels of a mere 1KW are distinctly small-time. But to satisfy your
criteria, here are a few examples of my assignments with more than 30
transmitters, 1KW or larger.

At NAVRADSTA(T) Barrigada 78 transmitters none smaller than 5KW
(AN/FRT-39). Largest was 200KW (AN/FRT-72).
At USS Annapolis AGMR-1 48 transmitters, none smaller than 1KW
(AN/URT-23). Largest was 40KW (AN/FRT-40).
At NAVRADSTA(T) Driver 55 transmitters none smaller than 10KW
(AN/FRT-39B). Largest was 600KW (AN/FRT-100).
At COMSECONDFLT, uncounted transmitters situated on more than 150 ships,
including 8 aircraft carriers.

How many 200 KW and 600KW transmitters did the super corporal of ADA
operate?

With all kind wishes,
