[K6NCG] Navcomsta Guam

[n6hpx/du1 Philippines]

sounds like my job I was asked to go to work as RO on Diego Garcia but at the time my wife and I just started and the pay was extremely good around 10k per month I think but he told me later they were giving the job to the ships captain. Kinda weird but I didnt have the 2nd class or 1st class license for it only the General Ham and had the morse portion as well. Back in the days of 13wpm.

can send a pick of the island of guam later but gonna eat lunch soon

My good friend Rod (W1ROD) has a son, Ben... who graduated from the USMMA at 
King's Point, NY about 3 years ago - fine young man, and smart as a whip.

Have a very old friend in Pueblo, CO who was MM Radio Officer - WØMWO 
(Marine Wireless Operator)

------

Back in 1973, I was in Veracruz, Mexico with my lady friend - talking to the 
Master and his crew on the SS Satsumokore  (very pretty ship)... they were 
all German & Swiss, and as their sparks was a drunk (BIG time drunk), the 
Master wanted to put him off - offered me an immediate position at 
$30K/Year... doesn't sound like much now, but in 1973, that wasn't bad at 
all.

I had to turn him down, as it would have meant leaving my lady in the 
Mexican interior, and as she was a well-constructed, blue-eyed blonde... 
she'd have been a target for the bad guys.

Oh well - lost opportunities.

Tom
