Pleiku Tropo Hill 1971

Many folks who spent their war in or near Pleiku recall these 60-foot-tall antennas. I've mentioned them several times m'self, so it's about time I gave you a good photo of 'em. For me, they were a link in the communications system I used and adminstered; other local signal folks kept 'em running, though.

I'm certain this hill has a local name, but we all called it Tropo.

I lived directly down the hill from these fellows, just barely out of their line of fire. Cats lived in the concertina wire, and were about as friendly as the fence. Pleiku, Republic of Vietnam, 1971.
