1. This memorandum responds to an NSA request for the identification
and, if possible, a description of each high frequency/direction finding
(HF/DF) FIX 24 antenna facility reported to be located near the following
urban locations within the USSR: Sovetskaya Gavan, Kiev, Tallinn, and
Baku.
2. The possible locations of the facilities were determined by NSA
from informal talks with FTD representatives, from COMINT reports, and
from the listin s of facilities which have been previously reported in
Volumes-2, 3, 4, and 5, Electronics Defense Laboratories
(TOP SECRET J. The specific requirement also requests a negation
date of each HF DF FIX 24 where feasible. Negation dates could not be
established for the facilities due to the lack of high-resolution photo-
graphy at the time they were constructed.
3. The facilities, as identified in the above-referenced search
locations, are described below.
a. The Sovetskaya Gavan HF/DF FIX 24 antenna facility can
be identified on photography of The facility 25X1
is located approximately 30 nm northeast of Sovetskaya Gavan,
USSR, at 49-02-30N 140-17-OOE The facility 25X1
consists of an HF/DF FIX 24 antenna and a smantled HF/DF
THICK 8 antenna. An HF communications facility has been
constructed in the area of the dismantled HF/DF THICK 8
antenna, but the configuration of the HF antennas cannot
be determined due to the limited interpretability of the
photography.

b. The Kiev HF/DF FIX 24+ can be positively identified
on photography. The facility has been described previously
in a response to an NSA requirement, NPIC Memorandum,
Photographic Confirmation of HF/DF Antennas
Near Brest and Kiev, USSR, 21 July 1970.
c. The Tallinn HF/DF FIX 24 antenna facility can be
identified on photography of The facility
is located approximately 3.5 nm northeast of Tallinn,
USSR, at 59-29-20N 024+-51-15E (BE None). The facility
consists of an HF/DF FIX 24 and a suspect DF facility of
unidentified type which is located approximately 0.5 nm
to the southeast. No HF communications antennas were
observed in the proximity of the HF/DF FIX 24 facility.
d. The Baku HF/DF FIX 24 antenna facility can be
identified on photography of The facility
is located 18 nm east of Baku, USSR, at 0-21-OON 050-
16-OOE I. The facility consists of an
HF/DF FIX 2 and an associated HF communications facility.
The HF antenna field contains three single rhombic and
three horizontal dipole antennas. The approximate azimuths
of the rhombic antennas are 31i5 degrees. The dipoles
are oriented approximately 035/215, 085/265, and 100/280
degrees azimuth, respectively.
