Wow, no I didn't. I worked on them from 76 to around 84.I really liked this system. One day we had an anomaly and I was tracking a lake inversion up in the New York area. I tracked a UFO once, I know it was because there was nothing made that could move like this or as fast.

Did you know that there are 4 complete TPS-43 Basic models still sitting on the pads at Doshintoby (sp) Iranian AF Base in Iran. We delivered them prior to the Shaw getting kicked out. As far as I know, they were never turned on.

HI Bill, OK. I hope it worked ok for you, I sent years working on every part of it. I did circuit check, test, align and had to sell them off to AFPRO. When I started I worked the first E model and it progressed to M. Then we changed it to the 70/75. Now it's at TPS-78. I think the old 43 could and would still out do the others.

Hi Bill, yes it is, how did you know? I worked on this from 76 to when we updated the system.
