Hi Chip Interesting story. You had a lot of memories. I was there from 52 to 53. I operated K6ncg when we had a BC610 xmtr and hammarlund rx. I designed the qsl from 53 that is on the top of the k6NCG website. I later served aboard an AKA (94) for the rest of my enlistment as an ET3 Just thought I would say hello to a fellow alumnus. 73 Dick W9CBT glenview, IL
