"Attn: Someone who knows Wendell (last name I don't recall) who worked on Aircraft Equipment at McMurdo station Antarctica.

I'd like to contact Wendell, he and I were at McMurdo Station during the winter of 2004-2005.

Hello Wendell, Doug Searles here. I was the Bendix/Raytheon Tech Rep in charge of the Original MLS installation at Mc Murdo. You and I talked about Max. I was stationed at the 786th AC&W Squadron Radar Site South of Minot, North of Max. I remember you worked a big farm and flew your crop duster Steerman airplane. Please contact if you receive this, I have a few questions about the Wheat Market. If you please, I hope you're well and happy, I am.
