Shemya, a 155 MPH wind buried this Quonset hut, and we had to be shoveled out

The two small pictures were taken when I was waiting to be rescued

We had to replace the telephone poles

 

Alexai Point, power line was buried in 5-10 feet of snow

Large box on the left is a diesel generator for DF station and control room with map table

 

Amchitka, summer of 1943

Mud was a BIG problem!

We worked all day building the DF tower and lived on Spam sandwiches

 

Alexai Point control station main antenna pole over 100 feet up

I am the lower of two men installing the whip antenna

Wind has our handline blowing higher than the 45-degree guy wires!
