| The operating desk at Radio Station WUGA, the Net Control Station for the District “H” Headquarters. - The RME-69 receiver was brand new and replaced an older Hallicrafters SX-18 receiver. Capt. Phillips’ personal receiver was a RME-69, and he liked it so much that he saw to it that eventually all stations in the net had RME-69 receivers. The net frequency was 4,440 kc/s. The station occupied a wooden temporary army barracks type building. There was no air conditioning or central heating. The telegraph key on the left is my cherished McElroy “bug” that I had bought while at Greenville. It was my most prized possession.
Capt. Phillips was an excellent administrator, and had a good technical background in communications. I understood that he was the owner of a telephone system in a town in Florida. He was not a very good telegrapher, and his principal experience with telegraphy had been to learn the code in order to get his amateur radio license. He preferred using voice instead of telegraphy when using his amateur radio station. On the other hand, Ensign Dausman had years of experience as a radio telegrapher in the Navy, and was a very skilled operator. He personally gave me the code test when they selected me to be the Chief Operator. He sent fast, perfect code on a bug, and I had no problem copying it on the mill (typewriter). He was the net control operator for a Navy amateur group that met once a week, and I stood in for him when he couldn’t make the schedule. The Navy operational procedures were very similar to those used by the Army and the C.C.C.
