The Gallops Island Radio Association Net

Gallups Island Radio Association Preamble:

This is (call sign) net control for the Gallups Island Radio Association Net. We are keeping alive the spirit of the men of the maritime service who were trained at the Gallups Island radio school which was formerly located in Boston Harbor. These men went on to honorably serve our country during WWII and beyond. The maritime service was the supply life-line for our men fighting in every theater. Many of these men paid the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. They are the original founders of the Gallup Island net, and it is in remembrance of them that we carry their love of radio forward through the continuation of this morning net. Good Morning to all hands!
