The attached pic is a TSQ-70..portable tower in VNam. My aviation company had
about 20 of them to install, man and maintain.
One of the ones I was responsible for was in a outpost in Song Be...after being
mortared countless times, windows blown out, the only thing working was the
towers single FM radio. The equipment itself had at least 1000 (seriously)
little pin prick nicks from mortar/rocket fragments. It was mounted on a 3/4
ton truck and brought inside the perimeter at nightfall as the landing strip
(peneprimed dirt and just long enough to land a c-130) was outside the compound
and completely insecure.
1st Cav and Special Forces operated out of Song Be...there was also a Catholic
church facility run by nuns and never bothered my NVA!
