If anyone wants more information about what Jim is alluding to, go to your
local library to check out and read "And The Sea Will Tell" by Vincent
Bugliosi. I think the events that happened on the island were about the
time of the first-ever Kingman operation that used Palmyra as a jump-off
point.
The Jack Wheeler mentioned early in the book is now KH6CC. Jack used to
sail to Palmyra regularly to operate from there back when he was KH6CHC. I
think he may have used KP6AL as his Palmyra callsign, but my memory is
clouding with time.
