Chuuk

You know, all of our air refuelers were over in Afghanistan and, and the general there at the time was nervous that he couldn't move his, uh, F18s around his battle space.

So we landed on Palau, Chuuk, Ponapai, Kwajalein, a bunch of other places.

Um, so look, yes, we are...

I mean, I am really excited, uh, that we are building infrastructure in that part of the world.

That's a nation, a whole nation.

There was a pastor from Chuuk.

That's a whole nation.

There was a pastor from Talawan.

I, I went on, I went on holiday to a place I'd always wanted to go to, I'd never been to.

I went to the Pacific Coast, um, the Chuuk or Ijan Newki, and had an incredible experience.

It was just wild out there, man.

There's like, there's no cars, there's no roads.

From Micronesia, which is Victor six, we have this.

Juliet Radio One Golf Sierra Echo, uh, Takashada, will be active from Weno, Chuuk, Micronesia from October 1st to October 7th, so he should be QRV now.

Using the call sign Victor 61 Golf Sugar Echo, he will be running an IC-7300 Mark II at a hundred watts with an inverted V on three point five through fifty megahertz using sideband FT8 and CW.

Operating hours will be limited because the operator will also be on vacation.

And two years ago, I had no idea where Yap was.

I had heard of Palau, Pohnpei, Truk, Chuuk, and so where is Yap? And Amos said, well, you're in Japan.

It's only about a three hour flight to Guam.

And then there's a one hour hop down to Yap.

United still operates the famed Island Hopper flight, which Air Micronesia launched in 1968.

The flights UA 154 and 155, s- it stops on five islands, Majuro and Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, followed by Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Chuuk in the Federated States of Micronesia before arriving in Guam or Hon- or Honolulu.

Of the routes it operates from Guam, the market with the highest capacity and ASM, or available seat miles, is from Guam to three cities in Japan, Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, where the combined capacity surpasses the Guam-Honolulu 777 run.

The United hub on Guam also serves as a small transit hub.
