[K6NCG] Field Day on Treasure Island.

[Ronald Carman]

If anyone wants to see an aerial photo of TI, you can go to www dot terraserver dot com and search by
coordinates - latitude is 37°49'N and longitude 122°22' W.  You will get several choices of photographs
and their dates taken.  The photos show Yerba Buena Island as well as TI and part of the Bay Bridge
connecting SFO-OAK.  The island's shape hasn't changed since I was there, but its surface features
sure are different.  Enjoy!
Ron, K5CXH
