[K6NCG] K6NCG Digest, Vol 49, Issue 2

Sun Oct 25 19:26:41 EDT 2026

I would like to see new photos of the Island. I was one of two last members
of the club before the base closed. I hope to get out there within the next
few years. I miss SF and the butiful view I had of SF from my barracks
window.
