Comments: Served in Kangnong from 1951 to 1953. We were the end of the airwave. We shot the radio wave to Japan. It was the first time that the signal was shot across the country rather than unit to unit. Looking for information from anyone who served during this time.

Keywords: Kangnong, Tempest Relay

Keywords: I served with Jade VHF in 1952 at 10th Corp Hq. I'm interested if anyone might have a picture of the army chapel. It was called Chapel in the Hills.

Thank you Roy Bennie
