Mystery Death In The Dunes- Desert Magazine 1949
I may have 50-100 stories like this. I don't know if this is the appropriate area to post these. If there is a more appropriate area feel free to move this thread and I will place any future threads there... I scanned these pages and turned them into a PDF file. This is the story of the massacre ...

Re: New Member- San Diego, CA.
Thanks for the warm welcome. My call sign is KJ6JMA. I may start a new thread on this but are any of you familiar with the old "Desert" magazines from the 40's and 50's?

I believe that the original trailer was constructed from a late forties or early fifties donor automobile. It looks like they would take the donor vehicle (whatever it was) and tear everything down to the frame. The C Channel frame would then be cut up in such a way that all of the pieces could be ...

Prospecting Trailer Build
I was given a basket case of a trailer and turned it into something that I could use on extended prospecting trips. At a cost of only a few hundred dollars out of pocket it was way cheeper than buying something plus it fit my needs perfectly. It is big enough to hold all of my stuff but small enough ...

New Member- San Diego, CA.
Hello All, On the morning of Friday the 28th of Jan I was just driving to work minding my own business and talking with a friend of mine about APRS on the 2 meter Sandra Otay repeater when one of your members (Willie I believe) jumped in to say hello and answer some questions.
