I have been convinced by others recently that it was a four-lane bowling alley. Was the exact location of AFNT complex across the street from the bowling alley (and just a bit closer to the main mountain road)? Perhaps it was just the transmitter towers across the street (next to the flagpoles, and a small playing field, possibly where tennis courts were built)? Was the USACC facility in the same building as AFNT? Thanks for any help.Rory O'Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08388611916824639951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863461026990087355.post-42593180046326829382013-09-23T07:32:18.718-05:002013-09-23T07:32:18.718-05:00Wang Chun should 2 years older than me.

I studied in a college right across the street from the American Forces headquarters on Chung Shan North Rd in Taipei, from 1977 to 1981, during which time, Carter administration withdrew the Forces and ended AFNT. Unlike Wang Chun, I didn't spend much time listening to AFNT, but still it's part of my "childhood" memories, which lead me here. I remember their call sign wad always "AFNT, FM, Taipei."

Since I worked many a night shift at the USACC communications facility on Grass Mt I was fortunate to make friends with some of the AFNT personnel over the years.
