Shown here, in QST for April 1965, is the fallout shelter and ham shack of Nathaniel Cole, WA6TOG. He had a contractor cut a deep trench in the hill, into which he lowered a corrugated pipe. At one end was a concrete bulkhead, and the other end was a concrete storageroom. Bunks for 6-8 people (the article reported that he had six kids) were welded to the pipe, and an entry tunnel led from the storage room to the surface, with a door of 2-1/2 inch laminated plywood.

The radio operating position was at the rear, where pipes led up to the antennas. There were an additional three four-inch air vents.
