1. A radar station is located about 2 kilometers northwest of the one Airfield
administration building and about 80Om.so*th ?Of the southern edge of Knszeves 25X1
(N 50-09, 9 13-39). It is approximately 300 m.southwsst of elevation point 357,
which is on the_Prrkgue-SAatur highway at the junction of the local road to
Predni Kapenina. Construction of the radar station was started in the spring of
1953 and was finished by summer 1953. The construction was performed by military
personnel. Notices were put up along the highway in the vicinity of the station,
forbidding passers-by to stop..
2. A new road was built to the radar station, branching off the highway a little
to the south of elevation point 357. It has a hard surface, is about 300 m. long
and 3-4 meters wide. The entry from the highway is barred by a wooden barrier
and the branch road is patrolled by a soldier in khaki uniform.
3. The radar station is in an enclosure about 150x50..m.and surrounded by a paling
about 1.24 m6 high. There is a sentry boot at the entrance to the enclosure. Two
wooden huts, a ?2ft6 m. are in the northern part of the enclosure. A metal
tower is in the southwest corner. The tower looks ke an electric 25X1
pylon for high t ston current. It has a shape of a narrowing square and is
about 9 a.
4. A radar with a bawl-type antenna is in the southeast corner of the enclosure. The
antenna is of wire netting and its diameter is about 3 m. It is placed on a
revolving base wormed on a carriage on wheels with pneumatic tires. Instead of
this type of radar# a mobile apparatus with aerials resembling a radio transmitter
is scme mo Rod.
5. A third installation, slightly lower than the bowl--type radar, is placed between
the metal tower and the radar station. Its antenna looks like an interwoven steel
case, about 21.5 a.square, fixed on a fairly stout rod which is installed on an
undercarriage pith -tic-tire wheels. -This installation is always in the
enclosure.
