Was that KTK transmitter that you sent on using the remote keying
facilities of KFS at their manned receiving site at Half Moon Bay, CA one
of the transmitters that has a bell shaped note? I remember I always tried
to exchange traffic with KFS by listening and calling their 22515 kHz
transmitter which my memory of events over 40 years ago says had that
beautiful note.

I know you were a radio officer at sea but did you also work for KFS.

Dalt W6AUH probably was there that bitter sweet day. What a fist Dalt had!.
Was in the same league as FG if KPH.

Was FG a radio amateur? His call?
