Hi Geroge: Thanks for the invitation. As I mentioned, I was not a member of PACFO but, rather, was stationed at Tengan from 1968 to 1971. Over the past...
Great. My brother and I were on Okinawa at the same time. I was at Tengan and he was at Sobe. If you could email them it would be much appreciated. Ron ...

Hmmmm,......no, but I do remember hearing "QSY ADK, QYS ADK, QYS ADK. At Tengan, we just assumed you guys forgot which frequency you set your receivers to. ...
Naw we knew what the freq was supposed to be.. Think someone was always messing up with those patch cords. I remember the night when we took the UPI link down...
I find it somewhat disconcerting that I'm old enough to have used patch cords and operated 50KW transmitters powered by glass tubes. Ron ... From: Don Swift ...

George, I fully support Bill Neuendorff's suggestion to dig into your memory and tell the group some of stories related to the Bang Pla Transmitter and Bang...
Hi John, Thanks for clearing up the Pings vs. Plas for me as I couldn't remember which was the transmit and which was the receive. However, I think all that...
I think Ping was the transmitter and Pla was the receiver station as well as the tape relay. I was the wire section NCOIC when it went on the air. I remember...
John: As I recall the Signal Group in Thailand (29th Signal Group?) wouldn’t send a message on the subject to 6th Signal Command themselves but said it was ...
Although I was never in PACFO, these stories certainly remind me of my Tengan days. Seems that Army methodology was world wide. Ron Shearer Sent via BlackBerry...
