49 years ago today...the launch of Apollo 11 and the trip to the moon
July of '69. I was a "newly minted" U.S. Navy Electronics tech either just left Treasure Island, home on leave, or was still there TAD at the Island. After I graduated, I was TAD to the station amateur radio club where "I did nothing" or next to that, for a few weeks waiting transfer.
K6NCG - Treasure Island Radio Amateur Club 1969-1970
"ritty" (RTTY) one of my favorite things to do back then
"The main station" Drake transmitter / receiver. Had been Collins receiver, Hallicrafters transmitter when I arrived
Yours truly up the 120 ft tower
Then home for leave, and down to Glynco, GA for GCA RADAR school in one of the old blimp hangers
Then spring of '70, NAS Miramar!! "Top Gun" "Fightertown USA"
