| Comment: I was involved in the development and testing of a Motorola digital communications system named Mark II deltaplex intended to increase White Alice capacity. The system was installed between Adak and Shemya in July of 1968. Testing lasted until the spring of 1969. Thr performance improvement was deemed insufficient to warrant its inclusion into White Alice. | |

I grew up on FAA stations, including Kotzebue,Cape Yakataga, and
Yakutat.I may have a few photos from some of those stations. Reading
these stories was like a small trip home. Keep up the good work.

| Comment: Bill you have done a lot of good work on this site since I last visited. I worked on the White Alice as a WECO installer in 1956 and 1957. I have lots of fond memories of Alaska. My wife and I will be visiting Anchorage, Kenai and Homer in late May 2003. We will be crusing back for the second time in four years. | |

| Comment: I was a Radioman 3rd class in the Coast Guard and visited ADAK, Ak in the fall of 1976 and put in to transfer to Radsta Adak/NOX and arrived in May of 1978. My first thing I remember was the site of the 120 ft Billboard Antennas and learning the Name of "White Alice". Alaskcom had installed a small satellite earth station on Adak when I got there and learned it would replace W.A. up on the hill. It's sad to see all that go. But they cant take away the memories | |

| Comment: My grandfather, James Albert Johnson, worked on the White Alice project. He just passed away and we are learning more about his full life as we go through some of his items. The one item that he did not wish to part from, was his alaskan coat. He wore this while working on the White Alice project. This time meant a great deal to him. | |
