The attached pic is a TSQ-70..portable tower in VNam. My aviation
company had about 20 of them to install, man and maintain.


Hope the controllers got combat pay.....




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!
