We fell into bed just after midnight and got up this morning at about 9am.  With only a brief wake-up (from jet lag?) about 3:30am.

We had a picnic lunch with Kathy, who took us on a tour of the southern part of the island of Guam between Santa Rita, where she lives, to the TWR transmitting site at Merizo.

We saw Agat landing beach where American troops fought Japanese who were dug into caves along the coast.

We passed the SDA transmitting site with its array of several shortwave towers.

We also visited a bay in which Magellan harbored at Umatac village, then the Spanish Fort Nuestra Senora de la Soledad.

Our last stop to the south was TWR’s transmitting site with its five shortwave transmitters — two Harris 100,000-watt transmitters built and installed in the 1970s, one HC100 100,000-watt transmitter that we built in Elkhart in the 1990s, and two recently installed Thomson 250,000-watt transmitters.

We got home just in time for the Gregsons to take us out to dinner at the Lemon Grass Thai restaurant in Santa Rita.
