[K6NCG] K6NCG Digest, Vol 23, Issue 7

Mon May 25 14:53:22 EDT 2009

You guys are right.

 From what I've been able to learn, the original shack was on the 
shoreline in a building originally used to calibrate Geiger counters.  
That site was near what is now housing, about a block from me, at the 
corner of Gateview and Westside.

The site that I was able to find was the shack from the seventies onward 
as far as I can tell.  The tower base was more readable when I first saw 
it a few years ago and the date on it looked like Feb 72.  So my best 
guess is that the tower was put in around the same time as the shack 
moved although it could have been earlier because I think the tower was 
donated from another base.  I've learned all of this from the internet 
and people's sites.

What I'd really like to do is start working on a history of the club.  I 
tried to start at the beginning but I'm having a hard time figuring out 
when the club started.

My invitation is still open to anyone who wants to come, I'll provide a 
tour of the island and Pete will probably join us.  We're both trying to 
get a few of you out here to do field day with us, with just us two it's 
been hard to put out the signal you're looking for.  I'm not likely to 
be out here much longer and the baby comes about a month after Field Day.
