Hi all,

Just getting a little rig on the air to work some museum ships.  20 meters isn?t great, but I put our call in the logs of the SS Pampanito and the SS Red Oak Victory today.  

They were thrilled to hear it.

The Island is going through some huge changes right now.  They buried the second shack under tons of dirt, but they?re moving that across to where the Great Lawn used to be.

They decided to save the chapel, but they?re not sure where to put it.

Tonight is a presentation dinner at the Yacht Club on what some of the development will look like. I?ll likely see Pete, WA6UDU there.

Lots going on out here.

Desmond, KC6VHG

I left there in '69. I probably wouldn't recognize the place.

The Navy left in 1997.  I moved in in 1999.

It?s great to hear the stories from the old club and ET school. It sounds like a really special group of people and a remarkable time to be together.

I live in one of the PWC housing units on the West corner of the Island.  They haven?t bulldozed these yet. We weren?t supposed to be here long enough to get used to them, but that was nearly 20 years ago. No I don?t want to leave.

The development is modern, tall, and pretty much replaces just about everything on the island.  Bldg 1, 2, and 3 plus the shape will be the only things left from before. Even the streets are changing.

I?m here to be sure that the ham radio legacy of TI always ha a home. Pete WA6UDU and I are both members of the TIYC Yacht Club (former MWR Boat Club) so the TIARA/K6NCG can always live in there.

I lived in the circular barracks. They were newly constructed. There was quite a large contingent of South Vietnamese Electronics students assigned there at the time.

Great to hear about K8NCG and TI.  Attended ETA school in fall of 1968.  Spent a lot of time at the shack.  Held a novice license at the time WN8ATV.  Would it be possible to post recent photos of the island?  Thank you for saving the legacy of K6NCG.

I lived in the old WW2 barracks. They had the kind of plumbing that when someone flushed a toilet, you got scalded if you were in the shower.

I lived in the circular barracks. They were newly constructed. There was quite a large contingent of South Vietnamese Electronics students assigned there at the time.

Great to hear about K8NCG and TI.? Attended ETA school in fall of 1968.? Spent a lot of time at the shack.? Held a novice license at the time WN8ATV.? Would it be possible to post recent photos of the island?? Thank you for saving the legacy of K6NCG.

Nice to see some activity on this list.  I started ET 'A' School at TI in
July, 1962.  I graduated in May, 1963.  I got married the next week and we
celebrated our 56th wedding anniversary on May 11.  I still keep in touch
with a few of the K6NCG guys and they are good people.  Several of us
became Electrical Engineers. My time at TI is remembered as one of the best
times of my life.  The school was just great. I have contributed several
photos on the K6NCG page.

I cherish the memories of all of it.

This is a great list of memories.  I was at TI and spent a great desl of
time at K6NCG form Aug 67 to Feb 68 when I received orders to the one place
everyone tried to stay away from, Vietnam.  One of my prized possessions is
a QSL card I sent to my dad ho I worked from probably the 20 meter station,
who was also a ham.  As someone previously stated, great memories.

Conditions aren?t very good this weekend and I don?t have my tower up at my new QTH?

However, I did get the club call into the logs of the USS Hornet, the SS Pampanito, and the SS Red Oak Victory.  The Hornet was very excited to hear the TIARA callsign today.

An update on the Island for those who have asked?

The BOQ/BEQ barracks ?Round? or ?Star? barracks have been demolished. The concrete they were made of has been ground up and tuned into fill dirt to raise the level of the island.
The Acey-Ducey/Chief?s Club is gone and is somewhere under that dirt.

They just ground up the old Brig, but that was a more modern structure, so many of you may not remember it.

They dug out and removed the old ?Pandemonium? about a year and a half ago.

The auto hobby shop is now an RV storage lot, where I keep my GMC motorhome.

The elementary school in the housing area closed down years ago.  There?s a great restaurant made out of some of the front classrooms called ?Cafe Aracely?

Most of the Great Lawn is gone.  It?s part of the first parcel transferred to the city and they?ve built a fence around that.  They?ve demolished everything that was there and they?re raising the ground level.

The very north end of the lawn is still there and there?s a restaurant there made of shipping containers with excellent food and a great bar.

All of the officer?s housing on Yerba Buena Island are gone except for the ?Great Whites? down on the eastern shore near the Coast Guard base.  The first stage of condo development will happen on top of the hill.

The Yacht Club moved into building 2.  The Museum has a small room in building 1 just off of the lobby. 

I?ll snap some photos later.  I?m taking requests of there?s anything you?d like to see.

Thanks for letting me share the tradition of Amateur Radio from Treasure Island.

Desmond, KC6VHG

I had the luck of getting the 02:00 to 04:00.  Spent hours looking at Alcatraz.

If Surfside Watch means the edge of the island at 3 AM with the cold wind
and fog blowing through your blues, then the answer is "No"!  When I was at
TI, July 62-May, 63, the members of K6NCG hamshack all slept in the same
barracks.  We stood our duty inside the hamshack The rules for standing
duty were to wear the uniform of the day, sweep down the building every
hour, and the duty watch was not allowed to operate a rig.  Believe me when
I say we followed those rules to the last letter.  We had a good thing
going.  We knew it and were not about to screw it up for everyone else.

There was an officer-in-charge of the shack.  He was a WA6 something.  We
didn't see a lot of him, but he did check the watch occasionally.  We had a
petty-officer-in-charge.  He was ETN1 Frank Mizell, K4DGU (Dirty Girty's
Uncle).  Frank was the receivers instructor for week 20 or so.  We was a
prince.  He was in the shack a lot.  He had an odd quality to his voice.
No kidding, it sounded like SSB that was just slightly off tuned.  We loved
him.

In a great coincidence, after I left the Navy, finished my BSEE and went to
my first job, aerospace circuit design at Harris (then Radiation) in
Florida, Frank was the lead technician in our lab.  He supervised the
technician crew that built our prototypes.  He ran a tight ship.

After I left Florida and went to Huntsville, AL. I had one QSO with Frank,
who had retired and moved to Rocky Mount, NC.  Frank is now a Silent Key.
But I would guess there are a lot of K6NCG folks who have great memories of
our time with Frank.

73,

Dave, K4TO

When I was on TI (1965/1966) we slept in the barracks with our ETA School Class but our duty (instead of cleaning barracks, seaside watch, etc) was to run phone patches for those stationed in Vietnam on R&R and their loved ones at home.

Great memories!

Yep, that's the one. It was out by what I think was the chemical weapons training building.

If Surfside Watch means the edge of the island at 3 AM with the cold wind and fog blowing through your blues, then the answer is "No"!? When I was at TI, July 62-May, 63, the members of K6NCG hamshack all slept in the same barracks.? We stood our duty inside the hamshack The rules for standing duty were to wear the uniform of the day, sweep down the building every hour, and the duty watch was not allowed to operate a rig.? Believe me when I say we followed those rules to the last letter.? We had a good thing going.? We knew it and were not about to screw it up for everyone else.
There was an officer-in-charge of the shack.? He was a WA6 something.? We didn't see a lot of him, but he did check the watch occasionally.? We had a petty-officer-in-charge.? He was ETN1 Frank Mizell, K4DGU (Dirty Girty's Uncle).? Frank was the receivers instructor for week 20 or so.? We was a prince.? He was in the shack a lot.? He had an odd quality to his voice.? No kidding, it sounded like SSB that was just slightly off tuned.? We loved him.
In a great coincidence, after I left the Navy, finished my BSEE and went to my first job, aerospace circuit design at Harris (then Radiation) in Florida, Frank was the lead technician in our lab.? He supervised the technician crew that built our prototypes.? He ran a tight ship.
After I left Florida and went to Huntsville, AL. I had one QSO with Frank, who had retired and moved to Rocky Mount, NC.? Frank is now a Silent Key.? But I would guess there are a lot of K6NCG folks who have great memories of our time with Frank. ?

Conditions aren?t very good this weekend and I don?t have my tower up at my new QTH?

However, I did get the club call into the logs of the USS Hornet, the SS Pampanito, and the SS Red Oak Victory.? The Hornet was very excited to hear the TIARA callsign today.

An update on the Island for those who have asked?

The BOQ/BEQ barracks ?Round? or ?Star? barracks have been demolished. The concrete they were made of has been ground up and tuned into fill dirt to raise the level of the island.
The Acey-Ducey/Chief?s Club is gone and is somewhere under that dirt.

They just ground up the old Brig, but that was a more modern structure, so many of you may not remember it.

They dug out and removed the old ?Pandemonium? about a year and a half ago.

The auto hobby shop is now an RV storage lot, where I keep my GMC motorhome.

The elementary school in the housing area closed down years ago.? There?s a great restaurant made out of some of the front classrooms called ?Cafe Aracely?

Most of the Great Lawn is gone.? It?s part of the first parcel transferred to the city and they?ve built a fence around that.? They?ve demolished everything that was there and they?re raising the ground level.

The very north end of the lawn is still there and there?s a restaurant there made of shipping containers with excellent food and a great bar.

All of the officer?s housing on Yerba Buena Island are gone except for the ?Great Whites? down on the eastern shore near the Coast Guard base.? The first stage of condo development will happen on top of the hill.

The Yacht Club moved into building 2.? The Museum has a small room in building 1 just off of the lobby.

I was there in 1964. We had 29 section duty then. My main duty was to make sure the coffee pot was full of coffee at all time and answer the phone. Only one watch per month! That's acceptable. Once we taped some fluorescent tubes to one of HF antennas. The San Francisco police were didn?t share our sense of humor.. The BC-610 really lit em up!

Maybe someone would remember Wally. He was from Hawaii and his call was KH6ELA (every ladies answer). Another was Buddy Waters who lived in San Francisco on Union St. I don't remember his call. After I took my novice test I moved into the club barracks. No more watches guarding the "USS Buttercup". I graduated and moved on before my license came in but I sure have some great memories of TI.

Group,

I have some photos from TI ETA/K6NCG.  I wish I could mark them with who they are.  Me at the fountain, the ETA school instructor (I don?t remember his name), me with the mic in hand and John Sever from Dayton Ohio with glasses.

I tried emailing the photos but got a message back they were too explicit.  So I am trying to share them via the link below.  I believe anyone can add photos to this album.

Mike, there is a website where you should find instructions on who to end
the photos to to get them posted.  You should identify what year they were
taken.  I know it was after 1963, because I helped put the tower up that is
in one of those photos.  that was in 1963.

73,

Dave, K4TO

If you email me the photos with any info (number them) I'll put them on the
QSL.NET/k6ncg page.

The first week I arrived on TI in September 1959, I was assigned a four-hour mid-watch that included that long cold walk. I guess the good news was that allowed me to spot the beam that was above the ham shack and get an introduction to K6NCG.

Here is a photo of the shack taken in 1965, I believe; as you can see the tall 
tower was up and in use.
I was a member there from 1964 to 1966 when my active duty term ended.
I was also a member of the flying club across the bay at NAS Alameda; got my 
private pilot license in May 1966.
It does bring back the memories of more than half a century ago.

Group,

A couple of people in the office here have worked in Antarctica.  One is
going back shortly. I?m trying to show her the value of ham radio.

I remember hearing stories of K6NCG working phone patches for KC4US_
stations back in the day on 14292.

Does anyone here have any recollections of working Antarctica?

Incidentally, I try to use 14292 as a CQ channel whenever I use the club
call. Seems traditional.

Desmond,

I was on the USS Burton Island (a USN icebreaker) from 1960-62 and operated KC4USS for Deep Freeze '62. Of course that was before satellite phones and Internet, but the ham radio was our lifeline, even used for USN communications on a couple occasions when Navy shore stations couldn?t be reached due to propagation.

Sad to say, things haven?t changed all that much. Last year the NSF hub in New Zealand was out of service for several months, and they again resorted to ham radio for essential communications. ARRL even gave exams by video conferencing to several people who wintered over.

When I was stationed at TI in 1972-1973, there was a member of the club that had spent several tours on the ice. His name was Bob. Can?t recall his callsign.

Desmond,
Here is another memory I hadn?t recalled for a very long time. In the early seventies I was priveleged to participate in a phone patch wedding for a crewmember of one of the icebreakers that was stuck in the ice up north, who had planned a wedding ceremony for a long time, but couldn?t get out to attend. They arranged with a minister in Washington state to perform the ceremony via a phone patch that included the skipper. (I have an audio recording of that somewhere.) It was the thrill of a lifetime for me, and sufficient justification for patches for people in such isolated areas.

>From 1970-1973 I was a ET1 stationed in Christchurch, NZ and ran the
transmitter facility for Operation Deep Freeze.  We provided comms for the
various Ice stations, as well as flight following communications for the
planes going to and from the Ice.

Unfortunately, all of my team was eventually able to make a trip to the ice
but I never could swing it.  I wanted to get on one of the Antarctic
stations and have a QSO with my dad who was also a ham back in Colorado.

Great memories

 Sorry I do not remember running phone patches for Antarctica although I am sure that we did that. 

My most significant memory operating K6NCG was running hundreds of messages after the big Alaska earthquake in 1964. At that time hams were limited
to 60 wpm on RTTY. We ran some much traffic we were able to get special permission from the FCC to run 100 wpm.

I has been a long time since thinking about K6NCG. Hope everyone is doing well and still Hamming!

73,

 Group,

A couple of people in the office here have worked in Antarctica.? One is
going back shortly. I?m trying to show her the value of ham radio.

I remember hearing stories of K6NCG working phone patches for KC4US_
stations back in the day on 14292.

Does anyone here have any recollections of working Antarctica?

Incidentally, I try to use 14292 as a CQ channel whenever I use the club
call. Seems traditional.

The most memorable was running a phone patch for CBS News to a scientist down on the ice while Neil Armstrong was stepping off the ladder for the very first time.
