A high-frequency (HF) communications fa-
cility, situated 2 nm west of Bogandinskaya near
the Tyumen ICBM Complex support facility,
contains two HF half-wave single-bay fishboI e
receiving antennas (apparently 2-2-2 configu ra-
tion), a single HF horizontal dipole antenna, and
an unidenl:ified possible antenna (Figure 1).
