"Looking Glass" is an airborne SAC-operated command post to mirror (hence
"Looking Glass") the ground-based SAC command post at Offut AFB. Current
Looking Glass aircraft are Navy E-6B TACAMO ("TAke Command And Move Out")
birds based at Tinker AFB, about 10 miles from me. I see them every day,
and the Lowfer mailing list frequently has reports of TACAMO transmissions
in the 15-30 KHz range.
The TACAMO transmitter is an enormously powerful beast, up in the power
range of your new TH-628 amp, driving a trailing long-wire.
