| I've had some special requests for information that I personally can't help with. I'm putting this page online in the hopes that someone out there will be able to help these people with the information they need. |
| July 24th I'm gathering information on the call signs we used at Kagnew to create a map indicating these communication circuits. For instance, the Navy base at Rota, Spain was designated at AOK. We at Kagnew were AEZ. I've enlisted the help of a few tech controllers to get this page started, and together with them we have come up with a list as a starting point. I've posted the page at kagnewstation.com/maps/callsigns/index.html and would like some help if you were involved in the communications with these sites. Check out the page and email me if you have something you'd like to contribute to this project. Thanks, Rick Updated August 30th I have started the map which is linked on the above page and have most circuits on it. I will be updating it as the information is completed. |
| June 23rd Lincoln Michaud recently sent in this photo of Santa and a couple of kids at Kagnew. He believes it was taken Christmas 1964 and would like to know if someone can recognize anyone in the picture? If you have any information, please .  From Tracy Gibson-Lake (8/13/2005): The general consensus in the family is that the little boy in the white shirt is Cary E. Gibson, son of “Pete” Gibson and Mary Gibson. |
| February 14th In July of 1969 an anthropology class was held up by a band of ELF. A national I brought along translated for us and may have saved our lives. His name is Ghebre-egziabiher Ghebremecal (spelling probably incorrect) He was a high school student at Asmara High School and helped guide me around the city. The anthropolgy professor's name was Sullinger. I would like to find other people who were involved with the incident and compare pictures and notes. Thanks, Claude White |
| February 10th Robert Hawk picked up a Kagnew license plate at an estate auction and wondered if anyone could give him some details on it's issuance and numbering scheme. And if by some wild shot in the dark you can recognize the plate as one you had, that would be something! Email Bob if you have any information at rhawk9-11@cfl.rr.com.  |
