Notes
The Freeport Grand Bahama Island, Eastern Test Range covers below (if available), were serviced by yours truly, as I was stationed there, working at the Telemetry Tracking Site, and I serviced all the covers sent to that station by collectors. These covers have my autograph on them. The covers on this list may or may not be addressed, (if addressed it can be either by rubber stamp, label or typed, anything other than as noted here will be specified). However many of these covers are unaddressed. Tracking station covers may have a dated postmark on any day of the flight, sometimes the date may be after the splashdown date due to various conditions, such as postoffice being closed or there was a delay in getting the covers to the postoffice, usually because the servicer was tracking the spacecraft! The majority of these tracking station covers have some sort of cachet provided by the tracking station (which can be a rubber stamp or label cachet) or just a station return address. Private cachet(s) may have been applied to further describe the flight. The first part of the description is the postmark city and state or country as shown on the cover. The rest of the description tells something about that particular tracking station, such as:
Some cover may be listed two or more times, depending on the difference between them, such as if autographed or not, or if it has a special postage stamp affixed or cancelled on a different date of significance, etc. Abbreviations |
