This was the radio room until early 1969. We had a full suite of radios including Fox Mike (FM), High Frequency (HF) Side Band, Very High Frequency (VHF), Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and local hand held radios. Most of the heavy comms used Collins KWM-2 equipment. We had day and night transmitters and antennae. The site call sign was TEXAS. Radio call signs varied but at this time they included CAPETOWN and SMOKEY. In the center was the switchboard of the "Savannakhet Telephone Company" which provided vital land line comms to key locations in the town. (Copyright Thomas E. Lee 1968, 1999-2007)
