Re: [IRCA] THE MYSTERY AN-TONNA

[Milspec390@xxxxxxx]

Unlikely - 

  Northwest off Ballahack Road was USN Security Group HF elephant cage 
antenna & collocated HF DF activity. My understanding is that is was stupidly closed 
by our 90s 'Techno Czar' who thinks 'HF data rate too slow' - projective 
thought if ever there were.. 

  Adjacent, still active, CG Commsta Portsmouth, now called CAMSLANT 
Chesapeake. CAMSLANT Northwest facility houses receivers, Tech Control, Message Center 
& admin. Antennas also on site including - when last seen - HF log periodic. 

Northwest located in swamp straddling NC/VA line, ideal for receiving, 
electrically quiet.

  Possible, unlikely, but still...- CAMSLANT companion xmtr site located apx. 
25 miles NE at Pungo, VA, near coast. Washington Sectional Aero Chart shows 
site as closed airfield apx. ten miles S of NAS Oceana. Unsure if ex-NALF 
Fentress. Can't miss it onna map - circle wX superimposed.

 CG Pungo, lwhen last seen, no other activities, but mitter here surely 
wouldn't bug receivers back at Northwest. Collins mitters, unsure model, solid 
state, red nixie freq readouts, power 5/10 K/snots selectable from Northwest.
