Count me in gents.

Maybe a special event station could be set up some time too. Are there any island anniversary dates that would be appropriate?

Mike, I was also in ETA school over '68-'69.
I still tell stories about Chief Gurt...

Later,
Joe Papworth, K8MP

I would be interested in working K6NCG. Thanks for the update on TI. I was stationed there for 9 months, 1968-1969. I have great memories of ETA school and spending time at the ham shack. I have lost contact with any friends I knew at ETA school except for one person and he lost interest in ham radio. The “Star Barracks” were new at the time I was stationed there. It is hard to believe they are reduced to gravel piles. Any new pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
