AI8AM

I was a volunteer operator at AI8AM ( Alpha Monkey). we were a fairly small station ( one transceiver, linear amplifier and a LARC periodic antenna on a 20 mast). We did have pretty good reception being on top of an 800 meter mountain (Monkey Mountain). There was another MARS station in DaNang, located at the air base AI8AD ( we called it Alpha Doodle). this was much larger with several transceiver online and was run by the Air Force.
