Europe Favs 2
From 1968 to 1970, I worked as an electronics technician for the
Chicago-based Automatic Electric Company. My role was to help install
and maintain the U.S. Military's global Autovon telephone network,
which was designed to withstand a nuclear attack. My first assignment
took me to the Autovon site atop Mount Vergine, 35 miles east of Naples,
Italy. After completion of the site, we turned it over to the military
and I moved on to help with the Autovon site in Humosa, 55 miles
east of Madrid, Spain. After Humosa, my third and final assignment was the Autovon
site at Langerkopf, 25 miles south of Kaiserslautern, Germany. These are
some of my favorite photos from those days.
My fondest memory was working atop atop Mt. Vergine near Avellino,
Italy.
