Headquarters at Seoul

I And Two Others Aboard A C47 From This Unit Flew Into Kimpo Field From Japan
 In The Middle Of the Night. After A Couple Of Hours We Were Hustled Into A
Six X Six With Blacked Out Headlights And Driven To Our Unit. As We Passed
Over The Han River, We Saw Two Or Three Bodies Floating In The Water. We
Were Driven To Ewah College For Girls.

Radio Shack 1st Shoran Beacon Unit 1951

Shoran Radar Sites Worked In Pairs Triangulating On Specific Targets Over
North Korea. Encoded Mission Instructions From Headquarters Were
 Sent To The Sites Using CW Radio Equipment. The Equipment At
 Headquarters And The Sites Were Old BC191 Transmitters And BC342 Receivers.
All radio communications both outgoing and incoming were enciphered  and deciphered  using
the M209 encryption machine. The text of a message was coded into 5 letter
code groups, then the reverse when decoding took place. Should you want to read more about
the 209 and other very good  encryption information, click here (You Will Leave My Site).

 I Started My Radio Work At Headquarters For A Period Of Time. Sure Was Difficult
 At First As I Had To Get Used To The Interfering Noise Coming In The Radio Receiver
While Trying To Copy Coded CW Messages. We Used International Morse Code And
A Telegraph Key.

Upon Arrival To The Unit, We Were Given A Cot And Blanket  (It Was Still Dark), And
 A Carbine And Shells. However, There Were No  Mess-Kits To Eat From Or Canteens Or
  Canteen Cups To Drink From. We Were Taken To The Big Building Shown Above And
Told To Find A Place To Sleep. Most Of The Main Roof Was Gone And We Could See
 The Stars. In The Morning When It was Time For Breakfast, We Dug In The Garbage For
 Cans To Eat And Drink From. The Only Way A Person Could Get a Canteen, Cup, And
 Mess-Kit Was If Someone Shared With You Or When Others Rotated Home, They Willed
 Their Equipment To The One Who Remained Behind. Later We Found Out That Some
 Koreans Had Been Breaking In And Stealing Supplies.

When Bed - Check Charlie Flew Over At Night (Twice), If Not On Duty, We Would
All Head For What Someone Called "The Snake Pit" (Basement Of The Big Building).
 It Was Rumored That They Would Toss Over The Side Of The Plane Hand Grenades
 Or Some Other Kind Of Bombs. It Sure Got Loud As Anti Aircraft Guns
 Would Start Shooting.
