Ham Radio Help From Watts Breaks Communications On USS Sanctuary
Navy hospital ship USS Sanctuary aids wounded troops from Vietnam coast to home through West Coast ham operators. A malicious operator from Watts jams long distance calls, disrupting connections while volunteers like George Beaver and Smokey Stover coordinate links to families. Relief comes as other hams ensure most conversations reach loved ones, despite the interference.
