[K6NCG] Working Museum Ships as K6NCG today.

[Walker Winans]

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!

I did an 8 hour watch there at night. It was Christmas time and we unlucky ones that didn't have leave time had to do double-duty.
It was cold and windy. It sucked!

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