HF COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES,
UGOLNYY MRBM LAUNCH SITE, USSR
A small high-frequency (HF) communica-
tions facility has been located at 64-47N 177-
56E (Figure 1) on the southeast side of the
Ugolnyy MRBM Launch Site Support Facility
and 1 nautical mile west of the previously
reported fishbone antenna communications fa-
cility. 1/ The newly identified facility (Fig-
ure 2) contains 1 HF rhombic and 1 horizontal
dipole antenna together with a probable con-
trol building and 2 other small buildings. An-
tenna dimension and orientation measurements
have been determined where possible, and this
information (including possible correspondents)
is contained in Table 1.
The rhombic antenna appears to be of single
configuration with 4 supporting masts and no
double end-poles. Although no dissipation line
was actually observed, it seems most likely
that this is a transmitting rhombic in view of
the fact that the MRBM site already has a
receiving capability at the fishbone facility.
In regard to the fishbone facility, inasmuch
as the earlier report had cautioned against
the possibility of mensural error resultingfrom
