[K6NCG] Field Day on Treasure Island.

[Ronald Carman]

I would surely be interested if  didn't live so doggone far away!  Building 318 on TI got to be my second
home while I was in the Navy - I first saw it on July 11, 1964 and was made to feel right at home.
Some of my best Navy buddies were the guys I met there, not those on the d%$&* ship I was on!
I was pretty active there in 1964 and again when I got sent back to TI for shore duty from Oct. 1965
to May 1966.  Now I live in central Texas, but may listen for you that weekend.  I hope you can get
to work from the site where the building was!  Good luck!
