I was stationed at the 692nd at Baudette, MN from 12/64 to 2/65 and then the 810th at Winston-Salem, NC from 2/65 to 10/67. I now live in Kernersville, NC which is about 10 miles from the old site which was closed in the 70s. Hope to see many old friends at the 692nd Reunion in July 99.

Great site I come back often. My father was in air defence radar during his time in the Air force and I can remember being at Duluth in the mid-70s when the sage bloockhouse was still in operation. As I live in Ohio and am interested in the things I have driven past some of the Installations mentioned including Brookfield which I think is now a highway dept. or township garage, and also you mention a gap filler annex at Stillwell is this the Stillwell located off US Rt. 62 if so this site is now a VOR(faa)site. Thanks again great site James

I am writing a fictional story of two men getting welding jobs on the DEW line, during the early and mid-fifties. I need some general info such as, [1] how did one get a job? [2] how long were the contracts? [3] were there break times and where did one go? [4] what were the working hours per day? [5] what activities were there on off duty hours: letter writing, cards, etc. [6] was time given off to go into Fairbanks or Anchorage for recreation? I am also interested in funny stories and incidents as well as accidents such as plane crashes or hunting accidents. Any clashes with bears? I would be most grateful any info in this regard or somebody who I can contact that has that kind of info. Sincerely Yours, Warner E. Rogers warner32 msn.com

He served at Cherry Point, NC and Bucks Harbor, ME. Any help in locating him would be appreciated. Would be happy to hear from any others who served at these locations. This is a great site. Thanks for for all the effort.

Hello to all my friends (and enemies) who worked on the best early warning system in the world. We were part of the big machine that brought Russia to its knees. Ill never forget the family of heros I worked with.

CMS John Friel, I emailed you, but your address isnt accessable. Email me back about Colville AFS?

Great Site, this along with the Pine Tree and SAGE site brings back so many great memories of great times. I was so fortunate to serve with some really nice people from one coast to the other. Started with basic training at Parks AFB CA 5 Dec 55, sent to 632 ACW Sq Roanoke Rapids NC(85th Air Division) for OJT as a Scope Dopein Feb 56; transferred to Hamilton AFB, CA and the manual control center of the San Francisco Air Defense Sector, 28th Air Division in Feb 59; on to Puntzi Mountain and great fishing(for those who could)in Nov 60; after a year to 810 AC&W Sq Winston-Salem NC; Dec 62 to Keesler for maintenance training on the AN/FSQ-7 SAGE computer with follow on to MCChord AFB, Seattle ADS and the 25th Air Divison for 5 years; to school on the UNIVAC 1050-II supply computer then to Nam; re-trained again into motion picture editing, sent to Andrews AFB and edited the AF Systems Command Staff Film Report, then to Hollywood CA for editing TV shows and films for AFRTS; finally to Wright-Patterson AFB, retiring 31 Dec 83 with 28 years and 28 days of service. It was a blast..Still working at Wright-Patt hope to retire in about a year and a half. Then will go to the AF museum (not as a relic) but to volunteer to show and tell the people about our Air Force. Did you know the kids in todays Air Force can not identify all the aircraft in todays inventory, let alone those in the past. Remember when we had to know them all. Enough already. Jim

Dont remember if I signed the guest book the last time I was on so here I am. Looking for site data and info I submitted on 649th. Ron

Nice site. I will dig up some of the stuff I still have from Benton AFS (pics etc.) and get them to you. I have the 70s version of the Sq. patch around here somewhere, and will send it also. Good job keep it up.

What a great site! Brings back memories. I worked for SDC 1968-1979. Worked on BUIC III 68-71 at North Truro and Fallon, then at company offices in Santa Monica. My last office in Santa Monica was in their Q7 building, which was originally built to house the SAGE Q7 computers.

Great Site, very well done! Always nice to have a record of the technology from past. I was in the USAF AFSSO from 1960-1964 so didnt come into contact with any of this hardware. But here at IBM I have certainly heard many tales regarding SAGE.

********* IMPORTANT !! ********* If you served in any capacity during the Cold War, the U.S. government has just announced a recognition certificate which you may apply for. For further information, and to make the formal request, please review this URL: http://coldwar.army.mil/ Go for it...its about time the estimated 22 million people who served during this time receive some recognition.

Amazing website. I was stationed at RR AFS for four years. I have a few color photos of the site to include the AN/FPS-26A transmitter and antenna. Could you use any of the photos? Larry

Part 2 of my email. I should have said the 632 Radar Sqd, Roanoke Rapids, NC (RR AFS). I had a desk next to one of the transmitters, too much RF I guess.

Great website. Spent a few years at the 632nd Radar Squad., Roanoke Rapids, NC. Worked the AN/FPS-26A. Dave Cahill, where are you?

I was a scope dope at a USAF radar site on the Olathe NAS in Kansas and near Kansas City during 1953. I do not recall the model # of the radar. Do you have any info on this? I didnt readily find anything on it. This was the 2nd Naval base I wound up on during my 4-year hitch in the AF.
