I missed the Delano decommission by a couple weeks. I was pretty bummed.
I've been run off Delano by the local LEO a couple times. Kern County Sherrif Office. Not much they could do, we never went beyond locked or closed gates. My son did enter the guard shack there, it was open and pretty empty, sans the last guard that left his COBRA paperwork. It was over a decade old, but still had his personal info on it! We trashed that.
The farmer to the south came out after my son and I where on his access road. That got us about 100 feet from one of the curtain towers.
He told me if I wanted to I could use his road 'to hook up' to the tower to use it after he found out I was a ham.
Never did find out whom I would ask for access to the feedlines though.
As to the receiver in question above. No, it wasn't in Kennedys plane. Thebone I am referring to was a flat face instead of rotary indicators for frequency. Looks like a SX101 or SX140.
We have training classes through the week. I fly back to the island Saturday. I have over 650 pics snapped of the museum and my phone died in the 2nd to last room..... with the missiles and air force one , etc.
Hopefully we get out around noon on Friday. If so, I'll be up there Friday to finish my photos. As it is, I have almost every single gle place and every single associated menu board type display.
Lots of receivers and transmitters, anything related to radio I tried to catch.
I have to pay for more Google storage. I ended up competent filling my Google drive with pics.
Hundreds of gig of pics and videos. Should be cool if I do get to finish. I hope I get to.
Edit. It was on Columbine II. Eisenhower plane.
