[Milsurplus] Never @ a hamfest

[Telegrapher at att.net]

 I found a web page on that thing a couple years back.  Lots of pictures and descriptions along with a map.  Never have seen anything on the Jim Creek outfit though.  The one in hawaii was impressive.  I drove up to the fence and gazed in awe at that.  Seems to me you could go someplace and overlook the antenna and big concrete anchors that held it up.  Been awhile so memory isn't quite as clear.
