Campbell Kills Caminos on Freedom Ridge

Someone has just drawn my attention from one of my old postings from 1997 about a radio intercept back when Freedom Ridge was open...

[CAMINO 04, APPROACH APPROVAL STILL WITHHELD] DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT'S GLENN CAMPBELL AND HE HAS NOT DEPARTED THE AREA. HE IS JUST DOWN THE HILL. WATCHDOG IS STILL IN EFFECT.

[SECOND VOICE] UNDERSTAND YOU ARE BRINGING THE CAMINOS IN NOW?

I'M GOING TO TALK TO THE D.O. AND THE S.O.F. AND TRY AND GET APPROVAL FOR YOU TO DO PATTERN WORK AS LONG AS GLENN CAMPBELL IS DOWN THE HILL
I don't remember anything more about the incident than you read in the posting. I don't remember who the journalist was who made the recording. Although the incident happened on Oct. 31, 1994, I apparently didn't publish it until 1997 because I didn't want to reveal the fact that I had their frequencies.

I guess it's a tribute to the restraint of the US government that I'm not dead right now!

(It's also a tribute to my current disinterest in Area 51 that I have purged all this from memory.)
