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

W5CGC Weather Station

Admiral Jet!         November 21, 2010 - June 14, 2021

Weatherlink - W5CGC / KE7A Weather NOAA Citizens Weather Observer Program W5CGC and KE7A are both active on WSPR.  Now active on 474.2 khz medium wave. Find more information about this low power digital mode at WSPRNet.org.

The Admiral Jet crossed the bar then went across the rainbow bridge on June 14, 2021. He was a 1Ø year old Miniature Schnauzer and mascot for the USCG Amateur Radio Net. He would sit quietly in his chair listening unless there was a squirrel or cat that encroched on his turf. Then his strong voice would be heard world wide with full modulation of the radio gear. He was a faithful friend and his departure has left a huge void at Net Control. Fair winds and following seas. RIP Admiral Jet!
