Re: [IRCA] Vintage receiving station with loops
Bob,
Thanks Bob for the information on the Navy's Shaggs Island receiving station.
The history of the base is very interesting and you did a great research job
in finding the website. I believe the Navy has a huge antenna near the VOA
site in Dixon, California. A small naval site where navy personnel live.

Dennis and all, it is Skaggs Island and is actually closer to the Sonoma/Solano county line. Have a look here:
http://www.navycthistory.com/skaggs_decom_book.html
If you go to the home page for this site and wander around a bit, you will find additional routes to go for Skaggs Island information and pictures (among many other locations). It is an interesting site.
On Google Earth, punch in 38.189188N, 122.39592W. This shows the water tower that is very visible from Highway 37 and what I believe is the last remaining building (also visible from the highway).
