[BC] KOMA

[DanWalthers1]

In a prevous life I was once spent 5 years one summer at KOMA as 
CE.  One of the biggest pains in the butt was the 200 some odd 
detuning boxes on the power lines west and north of the site.  One of 
the coolest things was getting letters from salors out in the 
Pacific.  One of the funnies things was running a few kids off the 
catwalks with their florescent tubes shortly after the first Star 
Wars came out.
