1. The Kuang-chou Radio Communications Station No 1 consists of three
towers supporting two medium frequency T-type antennas over two radial
systems of ground. cables.
2. This report includes a description of the facility, annotated.
photographs, a line drawing, and. mensuration of significant features.
3._ The Kuang-chou Radio Communications Station No 1 (Figure 1) is
located. 12 nautical miles east of Kuang-chou, China, at an elevation of
approximately 100 feet above sea level. The surrounding terrain is rela-
tively flat. The facility is not secured..
.4. The facility was first seen in November 1964, but the photography
was not of sufficient interpretability to identify the antennas by type.
The three towers were observed on photography of September 1968, but the
radial ground. systems were not present. The ground. systems were observed.
under construction in December 1968, but there has been no high-resolution
coverage of the facility since that time.
5. The facility contains three towers (items A, C, and E, Figure 1)
which support two medium frequency (MF) T-type antennas (items A-C and
apart has been installed under the westernmost antenna. The,
antenna ground system under the easternmost antenna was under construction
C-E). The three towers are not in a linear configuration. Azimuths and.
distances between the towers and the propagation direction are given in
Figure A radial ground. system consisting of 60 wire conductors spaced.

at the time of the December 1968 photography. Dimensions of the ground.
radials are shown on Figure 2. A coupling building is located. in the
center of each antenna (items B and. D, Figures 1 and. 2). The d.ownlead.s
from the T-type antennas between the towers, and. the ground. radials are
attached. to these buildings. A small, probable control building (item F,
Figure 1) is located. on the southern edge of the western antenna ground.
screen. No other support buildings were observed..
6. The approximate center design frequency for each of the two anten-
nas is estimated., based. on antenna size, at 1,560 kilohertz.
