Comments: Hi Len & 606 TCS folks. I was at one side of the same mountain as you were at Kimpo.We ran Downing DF (later Mint Julep)as a backup to your radar on Dog (emergency channel). We went to your chow hall and airmens club.We were radio maintenance graduates of Scott AFB,assigned as radio operators for the Net Control Station on top of Old Smokey and whatever else it was called.We got bearings from 4 sites including Paengyongdo,Chodo a site near Inchon,a mountain in mid Korea and us. We used a URD-2 Direction Finder and a plotting board with a compass rose to give fixes and steers to planes in distress.I have a photo from our side showing your place and the snowplow antenna.I also saw plenty of fires and rough landings below at Kimpo (K14 just like you did.Iwas reassigned to Seoul Namsan (south mountain) and back to radio maintanance of FM radios in a van. Stateside I was in AACS (Control Tower Radio Maintenance ) at Wright Patterson -Dayton,Ohio and later Mc Connell AFB,Wichita KS.I have a good friend in your area, Straford,NH. As a civilian, I worked at AC&W sites in Watertown,NY,Seattle,Opheim MT, and Omaha,Neb. WE put in the SAGE system of computers to change radar data to computer data for the Air Defense Command.Hope to see some of you at the reunion.Frank

606th AC & W SQ

Comments: Was at K-18 from Jan 55 - Dec 55. Was TDY most of the time to K-14 Kimpo and K-47 Chunchon. Was in Base Supply. Do recall the 5th Mule train supplying us food and supplies along with aircraft when they could get into the strip.

Comments: Joined the 606th in May 51 just in time for the move from Suwon to the Radar Hill just north of Kimpo. M/Sgt Lokan gave me the Height Finder Van to prepare and then I discovered I was to drive it. It was a real struggle to keep up with him. The Radar Maintenance troops were real professionalists. I was soon sent to Pusan with Cpl Cephas Cook to ship a couple of radar sets back to Japan Depot. Upon return, I had just about settled in and enjoying working in support of "Dentist" operational crews, when I was selected to join the 3903rd unit in Chunchon since they were being rotated back home. So I had a lot of experiences with the 606th and finally rotated back to the states in Feb 52. I remember Glen Caudle and Dale Cheney followed me to Chunchon and ended up together at Tyndall AFB. A nice surprise.

606th AC&W Squadron

Comments: Was in the 606th from March 55 thru December 55. Worked in radar ops up on "the hill".

I also ran the beach. Remember the nurses that would come up from Seoul and Osan?

Remember the "spontaious demonstration" at all of the bases in SK that had Neutral Nations Inspection Teams (NNITs)? The Koreans wanted the Poles and Czechs (Communists) to be expelled. We ended up shooting tear gas and vomitting (?) gas into the big crowd outside the front gate.

K-18 was wierd but I really enjoyed my time there - except for one AP who had a dog...
