August 1968: This was the first attempt
at locating the antenna field of the Old Site since it was thought to be
located in this area. North is at the top of the photo. No wire antennas
here. Instead, some other details surface. In the upper left corner
is the CDAA under construction. There is quite a quantity of felled
timber on the ground in the pattern of an arc. This arc starts near the
left bottom of the photo and continues towards the upper right side and
is really evident in a satellite image. The exact reason for a circle (like
a guard band) of cleared timber around the CDAA perimeter is not known
at this time. Note how the winds from the north west cause the sand in
the CDAA clearing to "streak". Click on image to enlarge (NAPL photo
