Comments: Served as a 304x0B Ground Radio Relay ( Carrier ) Technician with the 2nd Communications Squadron Division at K55 Osan AB, Korea from Feb. 1957 to Feb. 1958. The site name may have been previously called Comet Forward but was called Main Carrier at the time I was there. The site was located at the base of Hill 180 and provided voice and teletype circuit communications throughout South Korea and from South Korea to Japan.
Interested in talking old times with anyone serving at K55 during that era.
