	Linc writes - I was stationed in the years 1950 to 1952 at the old transmitter station, the one that was in the center of the four high standing antenna towers. We lived 24/7 alongside of the transmitter building, had our meals inside the station itself prepared by our own cook. There were about 8 or so ET's. We had transmitters for radio teletype, voice communications, and Morse code transmissions. There is not a thing written about this station, maybe because of the high amount of electromagnetic radiation that was given off, especially from the radio teletype transmitters which had to be constantly keyed. Fortunately I have pictures of the station, our small building home alongside it and of the entire antenna field. If anyone else reads this, especially the ship mates that were stationed there with me, I would appreciate hearing from you. Lincoln A. Milanese, ET3 - LINC113@aol.com
