Pictured is a piece of history. Part of the recently disassembled 500 kHz distress frequency receiving antenna
that stood in place and served on watch for over 60 years at the US Coast Guard Communications Station
Honolulu - NMO. Together with many generations of US Coast Guard Radiomen this feed point
insulator stood a continuous vigil over many decades always listening, never failing, and
"Always Ready" to hear and put into motion a Coast Guard lifesaving response across the large expanse
of Pacific Ocean.

Update on Ted Davis /W6VXP. Ted took ill after a fall on his vacation to Athens Greece in October and has been hospitalized there unable to return home. As of today the hospital has cleared him to be transported on a private air ambulance. The Travel Insurance company has agreed to pay a portion of the cost but the co-pay is quite high, approximately $71,000. A GoFundMe page has been setup to help raise the necessary funds to bring Ted home. If you can help in with any amount that link is here! https://www.gofundme.com/help-bring-ted-home
