Always wondered what happned to you two. I did ge a letter from Ray in the late70's, from, I think, the Phillipines, and last I heard, he was in Orlando. Dave, I think, wound up in Colorado.
The TV control room and xmtr were in a semi-trailer, which was parked under a large awning, right outside of and right next to the AFTN production building. The TV studio, along with the Korat "local" radio studios, music library, etc., were inside the building. The technical TV gear was in the trailer, so as to be "mobile" and non-permanent, in order to satisfy the requirements laid down by the Thai government.

What does the "T" stand for in AFTN? I know AFKN and AFVN, so "T" must mean "Thailand" or "Taiwan"?

The "T" is/was for Thailand!
