HF COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY, KUROVSKOYE, USSR
A large highs-frequency (HF) communica
[ions facility is situated about 8 nautical miles
east of Kurovskoye at 55- 35N 39- 11 E (Figure
1), and consists of 43 rhombic antennas, 2 con-
trol buildings with a third under construction, a
probable power station, and a support area con-
taining about 17 buildings (Figures 2 and 3). The
entire facility is probably fence enclosed but the
exact lines are indistinct.. The northwest portion
of the facility appears to be undergoing expan-
sion, with 14 antennas and the third control build-
ing under construction.
Identification and orientation of the rhombic
antennas, as given in Table 1, were accomplished
by means of the characteristic diamond shape of
the clearings and by the positions of guy-anchor
bases, the small scale of the photography pre-
cluding identification of individual' antenna
masts; For this reason, the given azimuths
and antenna dimensions are only approximate
and are not considered accurate enough for ex-
tended detailed study. Also, the possible corre-
spondents, as listed, are simply the result of ex-
tending great-circle arcs along the approximate
azimuths and noting which locations they went
through or near.
