I was in Africa last month but the request, along with my purchase of a 109 on the internet, took me back 50 years and I wrote it in the hotel in Conakry.
I posted the article on www.militaryphotos.net here. It's a bit simplified since I was writing for an audience broader than the ham radio group and had limited column space. But the 109 deserved the attention; It is a genuine piece of American military history and deserves its place alongside the half-track mounted quad .50 (now why did that come to my mind?)
You'll note I cribbed a photo from the web-site of one of our contributors and my predecessor as 1-0 of RT Delaware at FOB-2 in 1968.

Read the article, right on the money. Good work!
