from tiee Soviet-Norwegian border. It is about 95 km northwest of Murmansk and
about 270 km north-northwest of Kandalakscha.
Me locations of items numbered n2n and u3" are precisely plotted on the
accomeenying sketch. Item No. "1" is also shown, but since no vertical
photography has yet been found of that particular area, it is not located quite
so precisely as the other two.

with the center road of the grid complex, but this group of buildings is
25X1D imaged on and it is impossible to tell whether
or not any new buildings, such as a no-Yon bunker, have been added.
Item
Ni., "3" is a group of six objects that are similar in appearance to
wooden pylons used by the Soviets for power transmission lines. The location
and grouping, however, indicate that they are for some other purpose. It is
possible that they constitute another antennae array. These objects were not
in evidence on WI photography. They are located near the top of a hill over-
looking the Pechenga River. Trees have been cleared from the area since
1942. The geographic coordinates for item No. "3" are 69-30-50N and 31..9E.
