She did and sent the roll back for me to develop. You can't tell from the web site but she was actually a pretty lady, probably about 30. I belief she was related to the Haas family in Oakland. We corresponded for a while but I was never able to find out where she ended up (Honolulu?), and again, assuming she had Oakland roots, was obviously never able to set up a function with Bay Area DXers so she could share some of her experiences as a radio operator. I sent the pictures to Bruce and he sent them down to David Ricquish. When we moved up here in 96 from SF, I made a valiant effort to go through all my pictures and negatives but never was able to find the Canton Island ones. As for the music tape I sent her, this was in the 70s so I recall the BeeGees were on there but don't recall what else. Does anyone know for sure what actually was going on on the island?

I always wondered why 1385 kHz. Not that it mattered a bunch out there on Canton Island what frequency they chose. But the 5 kHz offset? 73 de Charlie --
