I was serving in and out of Vietnam in those days and remember vividly the anti-Goldwater campaigning that was being done on military facilities in Japan, Okinawa and the Philippines. Even then the lefties were at their tricks.
Barry Goldwater used his ham radio station K7UGA and MARS to provide radio link and phone patches between servicemen and their families in the states.
Big defender of Hams in the Senate.
RIP and THANK YOU!!
