I used to be NNN0NZE. We did a lot of traffic with NNN0NKF - or maybe it
was the other way round'.... You might have heard me doing phone patches
from Okinawa or Saudi Arabia. The bad guys shelled our Mars station
though. No more phone patch. Just a collection of craters. The duty
operator was in the can' which saved his life. Some times bowl movements
are useful like that.....
We ran the station out of a Connex box and had a Packrat packet radio
modem that I though was neat as hell. Ran from a Zenith 286' box.
BTW, The Iraqis also managed to shell the satellite phone system that ATT
set up a few clicks away..... I guess they REALLY REALLY didn't want us
phoning home. Glad that they had less interest in us COMING HOME. Thank
God for that.
Regards and thanks to you ham radio folks - you made our lives there more
bearable.
