Cold War Radome Base - a photo on Flickriver

            The military base contained two main buildings and was fortified with a high barbed wire fence surrounding a barracks and armoury for the personnel who served there. They controlled and defended the satellite uplink in the Operations Building, which covered some 8,500 square feet and was mounted by a radome that had an area of 960 square feet. The station maintained supplies in the form of 30 days of food, as well as diesel fuel that would run two generators in the event of emergencies if the base became disconnected from the local electrical grid.
