Does anybody remember working me as the Garbage Truck Mobile late 80's early 90's. Here is a picture of the truck in 1988 and

what I was using. IC 735 the same one I'm using on 60 meters now, 2 Hustler mounts and various coils. The 2 meter is a Yaesu

727R with matching amp for 30 watts. Please drop me a line.

I'm back on the air with a new beam. I lost the my Pro 67  March 2012. Also a 20 foot section of the72 foot tower. The tower is back at 55 feet now. The Pro 67-B is at 56 feet and the 6 ele. 6 mtr. is at 66 feet.

I'm running the TS-2000. I try to make all the 6 meter openings from CN78QI The Northwest Corner of Washington State. This is also the Northwest

Corner of the Continental U.S. I do digital as well. Hope to see you on the band. I also have a IC 735 that monitors 60 meters channel 4. Using a full

wave loop at abt.40 feet cut for that freq. Dxing that band is best in the Winter so maybe I'll see you then. I reply to all qsl's. Standard envelope best. for sase

Does any body remember the Four Corners Award ??? Started in1990 and ran until the lower corners became SKs. I could only find one to carry

on. You will notice that SE corner K4VGD became SK and KC4MVK ran with it until SW corner N6QJM became a SK in Mar 1992. I worked a ham

in Eastport, Me. this year and he said that WB1EZU was still active.

I'm still looking for shipmates. Hope some of you became a ham. Started out at Barbers Point Air Station 1966. Was transferred to the Coast Guard

Guard Cutter Bering Strait in Dec. 1966. Mid 1967 after 2 Ocean Station Victors we ended up in Viet Nam with 4 other 311 ships as Squadron 3

under Operation Market Time.

I had the privilege of helping paint the stripe on the ship while we were at sea. Got to have a littleR&R. This was taken on the equater 1968. I'm the

middle guitarist.

After the trip to Nam I did 1 more OSV and rotated to Neah Bay Life Boat Station 1968. I spent 11 weeks TAD at GraysHarbor LBS in 1969. May

1970 got out and never left Neah Bay.
