Calling all ex-Sparks!



Join the CGCWOA!

I took this from the Web site itself:

"The Coast Guard CW Operators Association (CGCWOA) is a membership organization comprised primarily of former members of the United States Coast Guard who held the enlisted rating of Radioman (RM) or Telecommunications Specialist (TC), and who employed International Morse Code (CW) in their routine communications duties on Coast Guard cutters and at shore stations. Also, "Associate Membership" is offered to other professional and military CW operators who possess similar qualifications."

I posted this image of the Commsta N.O. patch because that was my very first duty station. I was there for about 16 months starting in 1979. Eventually I arranged a mutual to Station Panama City, Florida - things were really exciting there!
