     United States Coast Guard Cutter Northwind Memorial Radio Station

In Memoriam: United States Coast Guard Cutter Northwind WAGB 282 (SK). K7IWH/MM was the famous call sign of the dauntless United States Coast Guard Cutter Northwind WAGB 282, in the 1950's and 1960's. The USCG call sign of Northwind was NRFJ. This photograph shows the mighty Northwind on Bering Sea Patrol, 20 August 1963 (Official U.S. Coast Guard Photograph). The fighting Northwind, homeport Seattle WA, was a veteran of scores of daring Arctic and Antarctic operations. The intrepid Northwind was commissioned 28 JUL 1945 and was decommissioned 20 JAN 1989. My father (SK) was CWO3 Eng. (CHMACH) Thomas James "Tom" Lynn, (USCG, Ret) Assistant Engineer in Northwind 13 OCT 1967 to 02 SEP 1969, CAPT Donald J McCann (USCG Ret) (SK) was Commanding Officer. From our farm in Svensen, Clatsop County, Oregon we worked Northwind many times via phone patch.

                                        Full many a sailor points with pride

                                        To cruises over the ocean wide;

                                         But they cannot compare with me,

                                         For I have sailed the Bering Sea.

                                         While though you have weathered fiercest gale

                                         And every ocean you have sailed;

                                         You cannot a salty sailor be

                                         Until you have sailed the Bering Sea.

                                                                     (Author unknown)
