They were the perfect substitute for a C.O. switch. The systems enabled the troops to call from one office or room to another and we connected the autovon lines to them so they could call any base in Turkey from any phone on site. Before we installed them the troops had to go to the radio building for phone calls which was usually some distance from the barracks.... Cool! When were you in Turkey? I was in the 2879th GEEIA sqaudron and was there on and off in '67-'69 installing and testing multiplexers and radios. One site I remember the equipment building was separated from the barracks by a climb of well over a hundred stairs. Telecommunications Installation and Repair: April 1, 1966 -- November 30, 2011

I think you are talking about shantepe with the stairs ( spelling is way off I'm sure but say it like it sounds and you'll probably recognize it ) but it was across the sea from Istanbul if I remember correctly. I was at nearly every remote site and base the Air Force had in Turkey back then. Maybe I had too many free beers to remember the spelling..... :toast: Man, you got me wondering now..... I'm gonna call one of the guys that was there with me and get the name! :toothy: Edit: He's out of town for the time being dang it.
