I forgot to mention that the HF Collins 40 KW transmitters shown was a standard in HF communications use by the military long before TROPO. HF networks were the standard in the military around the world for the long haul. I also worked at Clark in the Philippines for two tours. Real fun learning days with dedicated young soldiers.

As a retired 32Z, 32E, & 32D E-8 with 2 years in Vietnam with "DCA SAM " in Saigon & 1Signal Bde with the 369th Sig at Long Binh ICS site , I can appreciate this video. I wanna thank you for your conversion and posting. The mentioning of Asmara rings a bell as well of my duty there in 1960 & 1970 periods. I will make sure other of my fellow GI's get a chance to view this great film. -- Elwood Dave Nelson

The long haul communications that was removed from Vietnam was shipped to the Communications Electronic Engineering Installation Agency-Pacific Field Office (CEEIA-PAC) on Okinawa for refurbishment and re-installed as an upgrade to the Korean Wide-band Network. The Project was known as KWN. PhuLam 62-63. PACFO 73-74.

Did all this equipment get left there?
A small portion of antennas and transmitters were turned over the Vietnamese government. The vast majority of equipment got packed and shipped out, mostly in 1972 with the troop withdrawal. Howard

I purchased a copy on VHS tape from a commercial vender several years ago, and recently converted to digital for sharing on my Phu Lam You Tube page . Howard
