INTRODUCTION
This re ort?has been prepared in response
to NSA which requests it detailed
photographic -interpretation of the communica-
tion facilities within the 'ltatka ICl3\I Complex
and within the Yurva ICIVA, Complex.

ITATKA COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY
The Itatka Communications Facilita' at
45-44-00N R5-21-201' is Q-8 nautical miles (nm\
southwest of the Complex Support Facility of
the Itatka ICBM Complex.
The facility is served by an improved road
which terminates at the facility's 140-by- 45
foot main control building, kFigures l and 2).-
Si> general support buildings are in the sotith-
west corner of the facility along with several
smaller miscellaneous buildings.
There are 4 antennas visible: I double
day/night pair of I IF rhombic antennas oriented
westward and I day knight pair of H17 antennas oriented north-northwest. \leasure-
ments, including azimuths, are given on Figure
2; however, it should be noted that the antennas
have been identified by the configuration of
areas cleared of vegetation. Therefore the di-
mensions of tht actual antennas, are only ap-
proximate. Transmission lines can be observed radiating -front the control building,,=and ter-
minating at eachRintennti.
The site is fence secured and is, com-
patible with the signature of other known 1013:\1

The antennas, which are oriented southwest
and south-southeast, include I pair ofhorizontitl
dipoles (2 antennas), I possible 'A"' antenna, I
pair of probable horizontal dipoles, and 2 pro i-
able horizontal 4ipole'antennas. Azimuths hai
