Hi Lert,

Yes I remember OTC, was a trainee technical officer and worked there from '88 to 91 and remember working in the Satellite Earth Station in Oxford Falls when the Gulf War I was going round and patching through the TV feeds to Channels 7,9 and 10. It was humbling to be part of that event but I cant compare that to the moon landings. - Awesome!

Cheers

Chris
