Albrook AFB

Courtesy Cliff Van Doren Galleries 1946-1949

 

SCN did not have any call letters in the 1940's. It was located on Albrook AFB at the time and broadcast under the AFRS heading (Armed Forces Radio Service). The station relocated to Building 209 in Ft Clayton in 1949 which became its permanent home.
