[KL7AA] WW2 Alaska Service Certificate

[John Wolfe]

I know there are quite a few older members in the amateur radio clubs, so I
thought I would pass this along.  I was stationed at Shemya Island in the
mid 90's when it closed, and I get a lot of this kind of stuff to stay
connected to home (Wasilla).

 

If you know anyone that was stationed in the Aleutians during WW2 they
qualify for this certificate.  Read on.

 

73,
