[CW] KFS transmissions

[Walter - K5EST]

Never saw the ITT station in Galveston,  but I did get to see the station
at ITT McKay, Algoa, TX (south of Houston on Hwy 6). I was fresh out of the
Brown Water Navy on the rivers of Vietnam, APL 55/YRBM 18 was home water
base.

David, is sure correct,  Joe - N0MU is a first class CW operator. Only wish
I could be that good :-)

73,
