Kagnew Station DVD Images |
 |
 |
| Ralph Reinhold was able to purchase a large cache of
government-issued photos from Kagnew Station, 30 manila envelopes in all, taken
in the mid 60s. Ralph sent me the entire box a few months back to scan and I
will be soon be posting some of those pictures in a reduced format and size on
the web page. The original scans are in a high-resolution .tif files, most being around 3000 pixels in width. Imagine the average computer monitor is 800-1000 pixels wide in resolution so you can see how large these scans are. I am creating a DVD of these scans which is about 3.8 gig of images and will be offering them for sale at $20.00, which covers the cost of the DVD disc with a burned-in graphic of Asmara pics and case, padded mailing envelope and postage. The remainder of the proceeds will go to Ralph to help defray the $800.00 cost of purchasing this lot. Below you will see a sample of what will be on the DVD. There are some great pictures so enjoy this small subset of the group. Click on the thumbnail images to see a larger image. |

| Comments: Rick; I got my DVD Friday “ Great Job”. ******s response to her DVD was one word “AWESOME” !!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS !!!!!!!!!!! Hi Rick, I finally got around to viewing Ralph's DVD. Wow! We have a large hi res screen and was great to see all these images - large. It is amazing how much money Uncle Sam spent on all those facilities, which were eventually made obsolete by spy satellites a few short years later. I'll bet a spy satellite cost 1/00th of the total money spent "in theater" vs. all these types of facilities all over Europe and Asia, etc., at that time period Thanks again for the DVD. |
