The only problem is I can't find anything that fits with L.A. Air Force Station. There is a Los Angeles Air Force Base (LAAFB), and this token was attributed to LAAFB but as far as I can tell Los Angeles AFB never operated a radio station. A useful website to research Air Force Stations is radomes.org. The website is operated by guys who used to work these sites and were the constant watch of the U.S. from the U.S.S.R. Sadly as we've entered the era of the satellites, the radar operators and what they've done has been largely forgotten. Anyway - I'm going to keep researching. I want to verify this is from Los Angeles or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
