Hello to all the scope dopers out there. It was Keesler in 1962-1963 and then on to Duluth IAP Sage center 1963- 1965 with alot of TDY tour to the boonies and then on to NKP, Thailand 1965-1966. Back to U.S. in Sept. 1966 and discharge. This is a great site, please keep up the good work. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES AS WAS SAID NUMEROUS TIMES BY A VERY FAVORITE AND FAMOUS PERSON.

IMPORTANT NOTICE - There is currently a network problem between me and the Radomes web host. I am unable to get email or upload files at this time. For some unknown reason, I am able to get to the web pages - but don`t know why. I`ve got trouble calls out, but have no idea when this may be fixed. Please bear with me. - Gene

Have been looking for information on Dew Line and have just started using this site. Spent 2 years with Fed Electric Pin 3 (15 mo ) and Cam Sector tech for 6 mo. 1961 to 1963 Radician Have some info and few pictures

First duty station in 1954 was 666th AC&W as Radar Tech, on Mt. Tamalpias just north of San Francisco. i transferred to the 4701st AEW&C at McClellan upon activation in 1953. I attended Navy radar schools at San Diego in Dec. 1953 and the first RC-121C radar installation class at Burbank in Jan 54. I flew on the first missions out of McClellan in 1954. I was discharged as a S/Sgt in June 1955.It was a wild and wooley time with long hours of work because of lack of trained Radar Techs.Would enjoy swapping war stories with anyone of that time period. Also will respond to any requests pertaining to that time. Ron Larson

My uncle worked for you and gave me the data to enter the sight. Awesome!

I couldn`t believe this site. It brought back soooo many memories. I was in Key West in 65-66. Then on to Angel`s Peak 66-67. Finally TAC detachment in Phitsanuloke, Thailand. I`ll never forget my first train ride from Thakli to Phitsanuloke. And a Bob Hope Christmas `67. As you can see I too under went many changes since then. :) P

I was stationed at the 858th in Fallon Nevada from 1956 to 1960 as a scope dope. I am looking for Ken Gonsoulin and Joe Benavides who were there at that time, or anyone else who was at the 858th then that remembers me. Would like to here from you.

Would the contributor of the vintage photo of the Carrabelle, FL, gap-filler radar site (Z-198A)*PLEASE* contact us. We need your help in determining the radar site`s precise location. THANK YOU. -- Tom

I served as a BUIC III civilian programmer with SDC at No Truro AFS from Feb 1968 to July 1969. We were the `BUIC Field Group` responsible for issuing regular releases of the software for AN/GSA-51A computer system, and for considering all change requests from other BUIC III sites. My first real job, and among my most memorable. Visited the site just last week, and met a ______ Schooler (?) one told me about your organization. He now works for the FAA, but was a Blue suiter at No Truro about the time I left. Lots more to tell, but would fill many pages. All the best, Randy Biddle Valencia, CA 661-263-6816 661-263-6826 fax windships@earthlink.net

Hey Gary Jacobs, that signal generator for MDS checks is a TPM-25.

Anyone know what happened to the SAGE web site. It disappeared.

Great website. Thank you for all the hard work. I have bunches of pictures of the 794th ACW SQ at Cape Newenham AFS Alaska. Willing to share them with anyone that was there and does not have any. My tour of duty at Cape Newenham was June 1969-June 1970. Wouls like to hear from anyone that was there during that time. I am also looking for Michael A Kirkpatrick. He was at Keesler with me and in AK too. He wa also at Murphy Dome, AK. I have been looking for him for over 20 years. If you have any info on him please email me. Thank you.

Just a note to say thank-you for this site..I am an `Air Force Brat` and very proud of that...My daddy, Capt James Day,died 23 years ago, while still on active duty, from a heart attack at age 45...I was 19....this site has allowed me to reminise, as well as be in contact with several men,that to this day remember him...one wonderful gentleman sent me several pages from his scrapbook with pictures of my parents!!! I thank-you all for the time you served our country.....and for the memories you`ve made!!!.....You are all special!!!!

One day at a garage sale I noticed an old familiar item, a PSM-6 multimeter. I hadn`t seen one for close to 30 years. Guy wanted a couple bucks for it so now it sits on my bookshelf. Made me think perhaps there should be a `Radar Test Equipment Hall of Fame.` Surely the venerable PSM-6 would be somewhere at the head of the line, along with those `portable` H-P oscilloscopes that weighed a ton. The signal generator for the inevitable MDS check ...

I was reading an article in the Aug 2002 issue of AIRMAN Magazine that the 932ACW at Rockville was retired and turn into a drug and alcohol rehab center. After spending a year at the ROCK in 1976 I can see that is very fitting.

I spent 30 years and had a blast most of the time. I now sell Chevys and am still having a good time. I retired Mar 1991. We live in Bellevue Ne.

I assigned to the 4625th Support Gp at Adair, OR 1962 to 1967 and the 859th Radar Sq (SAGE) 1967-68.

This site is a well-done piece of historical work,the photos are outstanding! Topo maps and satellite imagery just great, hope your work will inspire others to remember the hard and long hours military, civil servants and civilian contractors spend working to defend the USA!
