In , I received several e-mails below from Jack Sokol and Dick Himes concerning their tour at the Deragawa Communication Compound before its renovation and occupation by the 16th PsyWar Company in Both Jack and Dick were Air Force personnel as the site was built by the Air Force before it was inherited by the 16th. The compound during that time did not contain the newer concrete buildings Barracks, Mess, Transmitter, Generator used by later Air Force personnel and then by the 16th PsyWar Company. All is gone today, but the site has been relocated See Deragawa Rediscovered in This new information from Alan only leaves a two year unaccounted period in the history of the Deragawa site.
