I had the privilege to be invited to a private telecom museum today. Thought some of you old timers that listened to Echo Fox would get a kick out of this.

This specific antenna was rescued from the Stockton California site. Phelps-Dodge I believe.

When I was living in Tallahassee I heard the UHF EF transmissions the traffic seemed to be like manual orderwire with an operator setting up circuits. This was in the 1990's.

From what I've read it was 100% manual.

I lived two blocks from the New York City site, at 32 Avenue of the Americas. Full quieting and yes, 100% manual with some old-school operator protocols.

Was this the museum that inherited collections from the Telephone Pioneers Museum in Eugene?
