Approved For Release 2007MP3 s 11 300060032-2 No Pages 1 Copy No 1,13 JOINT PHOTOGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE BRIEF ARMY-NA VY-CIA -AIR FORCE (Published and Disseminated by CIA/PIC) SUBJECT : High-Frequency Trans- mitting Site LOCATION.- Near Sary Shagan, USSR WAC e 245 NO : PIC/JB-?72/60 DATE : 19 April 1960 COORD: 46?01'N 73?30'E (Approx. ) This brief, identifying a high-frequency transmitting site near Sary Shagan, USSR, is the result of a preliminary photographic analysis. The site, located at approximately 46?01'N/73?30'E, is square, fence- enclosed, and served by a power line and a dirt road. It contains two support buildings and a transmitter building, near which is a dry cooling pond apparently completed. Antennas consist of 5 double rhombics (2 large and 3 small), for day-night operations. Also present are 19 masts which may support dipoles. Possible switching points are evident between some of the adjacent masts. 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 geo- graphic positioning of this site is only approximate at this time.
