REMARKS:
This brief, which identifies an instrumentation and radio communi-
cations installation located at approximately 45?53'N/73a30'E on the
western shore of L e Balkhash;_ res-ults from a preliminary photographic
analysis. The instal Lion consists of a support area, an instrumentation
facility, an interferometer-type site, and a rhombic cornmunications
station. The support area is fenced and contains 9 barracks-type buildings
and 17 miscellaneous buildings. The instrumentation facility consists of
a fenced circular pad with three vehicles in the center. ` Adjacent to the
pad is an area containing four small buildings, five vehicles, and several
high-frequency rhombic antennas oriented roughly east-?:h est. The
interferometer-type site is enclosed by a circular fencq and has centered
within it a plus figure with at least four domes position4d at the ends of
the plus. A cable scar runs from a shed near the center of the plus to
a point off the usable portion of the photography. The communications
station has at least seven single rhombics for daytime 9pe-ration Each
of two separate areas containing supporting facilities irjclLdes a control
building, a generator building, and small supporting facilities. A cable
scar leads from the.station to a road extending beyond the interferometer-
type site .
NOTE: Because of the poor quality of base maps of this area and the
scattered cloud cover on the photography, it is emphasized that the
geographic positioning of this installation is only approximate at this time.
