I hope you get the hang of it, those pictures sound interesting.

Hey- I'm 70- grew up with slide rules, drafting boards and T-squares, and Borwn & Sharpe "mikes"-- and I have a lot of problems getting pictures posted- all this "copy and paste" stuff doesn't do anything for me- so I try to get my daughter (this is her computer site anyway) to do it for me- sometimes it works, sometimes not--

I'm surprised some enterprising salvage crew hasn't hit that island for the scrap metal value of those Jap AA gun batteries- harsh terrain though, I am sure!!

Can't. First off the Island is entirely Government property, then, it's a consecrated battle field burial ground, then the minor detail of being about 2000 miles west of Anchorage. Occasionally, global sailors call on Shemya, next closest inhabited island, but that's only a few months a year.
This is Agattu, Just south of Attu and Shemya. I can't seem to find a picture of Attu, but you get the idea. It's the last island in the Aleutian Chain.
