   Marines in VietNam to their    
   families in the US.  The station at that time was a Collins S-Line and 30S1   
   Linear.  Previous members left us with a big 4 element tri-band Quad.  The   
   station was located in a WWII era wooden building at the edge of the harbor.    
   WB6BNQ and I ran the    
   Typhoon Sara (Wake Island) relief operation from that building.

   constructed a few months    
   after the Pearl Harbor attack to protect some 12KV switchgear, we moved into   
   the second floor.  The tower and Quad were moved as a unit by a large crane   
   and placed on the roof of the blockhouse.

   Pacific Islands and Antarctica.  We had daily schedules with Guam and Okinawa   
   on MARS RTTY cutting long tapes of Heath/Welfare messages that we relayed to   
   CONUS MARS stations for further distribution.  I continued as CHOP for a year   
   before my enlistment    
   expired and passed control to Les, W5LE.

   Late again, but I think the call is now located on the USS MISSOURI at Ford   
   Island... NOt sure. Seems as though someone told me that.
