NW Washington | This is what I remember as being the Autovon. It was a very handy way to make long distance and overseas calls to military bases in the old days. This is from Wikipedia.
"AUTOVON, short for Automatic Voice Network, was an American military phone system built in 1963 to survive nuclear attacks. AUTOVON was first established in the United States, using the Army's SCAN (Switch Communications Automated Network) system. Around the mid-1970s AUTOVON expanded to the United Kingdom, Asia, the Middle East, and Panama. It was a major part of the Defense Communications System (DCS), providing non-secure switched voice services. Today the system is unused, replaced in the early 1990s by the Defense Switched Network." | |
