US Air Target Chart, Series 200, Sheet 0330-3, scale 1:200,000 2 50678 Two high frequency (HF) communications facilities -- one transmitting and one receiving -- have been newly identified in the Wulumuchi area of China: Wulumuchi HF Communications Facility East (transmitting) o87- 9-25E, BE None, 25X1 25X1 Wulumuchi HF Communications Fa cility South (recei ving) 43-43-48N 087-36-OOE, BE None, 25X1 25X1 The Wulumuchi HF Communications Facility East (transmitting) is paired with Wulumuchi HF Communications Facility South (receiving) to form an integrated radio-communications terminal (Figure 1). The probable correspondents for both facilities are in the Peking area. It is possible that this radio-communications terminal links the Wulumuchi Headquarters (HQ) Hsinchiang Military District (BE 43-47-30N o87-39-05E) with the Ministry of National Defense, Peking Military Region. The Wulumuchi HF transmitting facility (:Figure 2, Table 1) is located on the eastern edge of the city and immediately south of Wulumuchi HQ Hsinchiang TOP SECRET RUFF TOP SECRET RUFF Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/08/02 : CIA-RDP78T05162A000100010087-5 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/08/02 : CIA-RDP78T05162A000100010087-5 TOP SECRET RUFF Military District. The facility contains one rhombic antenna (item E), three. quadrant antennas (items B through D), 12 horizontal dipole antennas (items G through P), and four masts that are arranged in an unidentified pattern. The rhombic antenna I The presence of a dissipation line on the rhombic antenna indicates that this is a transmitting facility. The facility is unsecured and contains two control buildings (items 1 and 8) among 21 structures. The Wulumuchi HF receiving facility (Figure 3) is located 3.5 nautical miles (nm) south of the city. This facility is unsecured and contains two 3-2-2-3 fishbone antennas (items A and B) arranged in a space diverse pattern, one control building (item 1), and one support building (item 2). Table 1.
