So curiosity got the best of me yesterday and I did some googling to see
what other military teletype installations may still be around. Really the
Navy stuff is probably a bulk of it, since they used so much and in
designated "places" (ships) that may still be preserved. I didn't expect to
find much on Army or Airforce comms type places as they'd all be remodeled
or redone when obsolete, however I did find this page that seems to have a
couple surviving portable rigs: https://rattrig.com
Then I also came across this vid showing some 28s banging away at the
Airforce:

And of course there's other small museums and such around like Duncan's
that has a bunch of this stuff spanning all depts as well.
Does anyone else know of any "surviving" installations - meaning - places
where TTYs were used originally, and are still there? I guess KPH probably
counts (https://www.radiomarine.org/radio-archaeology/kph-kleinschmidt)
