7TH RADIO RESEARCH FIELD STATIONS


I never journeyed down to Ramasun from Udorn but we serviced Detachment B in Chiang Mai until they installed the TRC-35 in 72. We had a 25 pair cable out to their site to give them the semblance of security. They could call us if they came under attack. Of course, the CTs sabotaged the cable on a regular basis so that wasn’t very helpful.  I keep seeing inquiries on the search engine asking if AO was used around their antenna farms.  Knowing that vegetation grows like a raped ape there, let me allow you to be the judge of that. This was taken in June 71. I never saw anything grow there for the 18 months I was there.  What you cannot see is what was 180 degrees to the right of this picture.-more of the same for a thousand yards. Click once to magnify.

I guess one thing needs to be said for those of you who think the Army was busy researching random radio waves. They were. North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao radio waves to be sure were the object of their interest or more precisely, what was being said on certain frequencies they employed.

    I was an 05H-20 and I was at the 7thRRFS at NongSung for two tours. Loved the country but now it has all changed. I loved it and the people so much I married my tealock.
