Looking more or less from West to East, across Rt 9.I
(Tony)was on the crew that installed the first TRC-97
at Stud. The original location was on a treed rise to
the East of the North end of the runway. Sometime in
July/August ’68, there was a cyclone that caused the
relocation of the site to the HQ area at the bottom of
Signal Hill.
