Made a life changine decision..........

I built the GWEN (Ground Wave Emergency Network - an EMP-proof message system for USAF/SAC) network for RCA/GE in the 1980s and I had a chance to climb a few 300 foot towers. I loved it! I felt like a bird, ready to fly. What a perspective on the world to see it from that height.

Hang in there and keep doing whatever you love my friend!

Do you know what they did with GWEN?

They had some ?copper? Mines in the Great Lakes states (don't remember which one) & one of the Dakotas-they sent out this giant 3 character signal to those of us in my line of work in preparation for the final countdown. (Don't type what I do on this thread)from those two points, through the ground into both major oceans that concern us-for my line of work.


It was discontinued on my first shore duty-it hurt whales, messed with some birds & vibrated a hum that people in the rocky/plateau dessert of the south west kept complaining about-such an amazing, small world.

That signal & setup was no joke-used in the SDI for 20 years. There are not enough words to express WOW.
