IDENTIFIED INSTALLATIONS
A transmitter station is located at
41-29-50N 69-08-45E, 3 miles north-
northwest of Sary Agach, 300 feet east
of the Tashkent-Arys railroad,-and-14.5
miles northwest of Tashkent (see Figure
3). The station is enclosed by a fence
2,050 by 1,275 feet, covers approximately
60 acres, and to served by an all-weather
road. It contains four double rhombic
antennas, a transmitter building, and
several support-type buildings.
The four double #hombics are ar-
ranged in two pairs. The presence of dis-
sipation lines indicates that these are
transmitting rhombics. One antenna of
each pair (Figure S, items 2 and3) itrfor
day and the other antenna (items 1 and 4)
for night transmission. One pair (items 1
and the other pair (itetgs 3 and 4) toward
Khabarovsk(5739'). Data on these rhom-
are keyed to Figure 3). 1

Them a), 85 by 35 feet, is loc .pear the
south fence. Five ?support-type buildings,
the largest of which is 105 by 45 feet, are
also located in the fenced area.
A. high-frequency receiver station is
located at 41-27-45N 69-11-15E, 4,000
-feet northeast of Sary Agach and 11.5
miles north-northwest of Tashkent (see
Figure 4). The station covers more than
330 acres and contains numerous stick
masts which support fishbone and double-
rhombic antennas, a fenced control area,
and a support area. Some of the fishbones
and rhombics are oriented on approxim-
ately the same azimuth and separated
from each other both horizontally and
vertically. This Indicates that space di-
versity reception may be utilized.
Antennae
At least 343 stick masts, supporting 9
double rhombic and 16 fishbone antennas,
have been Identified within the station area.
For one fisbbone (Figure 4, item g), only
some of the supporting stick masts can be
identified, but it has been assumed that
there are additional stick masts. The
PIC/JR-1019/61

photography shows excavations prepared
for a tenth double rhombic (item 10) to be
constructed. Feed lines radiate from
several of the antennas toward the control
area. Data onEhedouble rhombicsisgiven
In Table 2 (antenna numbers are keyed to
Figure 4).
Data on the tiehbone antennas is given
in Table 3. The antenna letters are keyed
to Figure 4 and the type letters to Figure
5. All masts are approximately _
high. The designations of these antennas
are in accordance with the system estab-
lished in PlC/TP-3/61, Designation of

A possible microwave tower Is loca-
ted at 41-24-25N 69-02-10E near the vil-
lage of Darkhan, 7.5 miles southwest of
Sary Agach and 14 miles west-northwest
of Tashkent. The tower is situated on the
crest of a small mound. The combined
height of the tower and the mound is 125
feet.
A receiver station Is located at
41-26-17N 69-24-40E, 1.5 miles west of
Khodzha Kurgan and 11 miles northeast
of Tashkent (see Figure 6). The station
is enclosed by a fence, covers approxi-
mately 200 acres, and is road-served.

numerous stick masts, and a support
area containing at least 20 buildings.
Feed lines and numerous stick masts
and stick-mast bases are noted within the
operations area, but owing to the poor
resolution of the photography only onean-
tenna pattern can be positively identified.
However, the existence pf the feed lines
and masts indicates the presence of otlier
antennas. The identified antenna is a Type
I fishbone array, which has two bays. One
Day (Figure 6, item a) is designed for day
and the other (item b) for night reception.

High-Frequency Broadcasting Station
Under Construction
This station is under construction in
an area 5,200 by 3,100 feet. At the time of
photography the area contained 14 self-
supporting lattice towers; 5 bases, 2 of
which were under construction; 2 trans-
mitter buildings, one of which was under
construction; and 2 buildings of undeter-
mined function,

An all-weather road leads through the
center of the station. An overhead power
line and two ditches parallel this road. A
spur line from the Tashkent-Samarkand
railroad passes the southwest portion of
the station but has no apparent connection
with the station.
Antennae: As seen on the _
~ photography, the arrangement of
antennas is as follows: Generally, the
14 self-supporting lattice towers add 5
bases are in two groups, referred to here
as Tower Group A and Tower Group B.
In Tower Group A are three385-foot-high
towers and two bases under construction,
positioned In a straight line (Figure 8,
items 1, 2, 3, a, and b). Tower Group B
contains nine towers from 170 to 230 feet
high and three tower bases forming an
configuration (items 4 through 15). Two
other towers (items 16 and 17), 50 feet
high, are located wear Croup B, but neither

and at least four other horizontal crora-
arma are positioned along the vertical
axis of each tower. The location of t4sse

tain antennas were or were to be suspended
between the towers. After the time jot

Data on Tower Group A as of -
Is given in Table 5 (tower numbers are

In Tower Group B, the three bases
and the bases of the nine towers are 25
feet square. A horizontal crossarm is
located on the top of each tower and lower
horizontal crossarms are spaced along its
vertical axis. As in Tower Group A, these
crossarms indicate that broadside curtain
antennas were or were to be suspended
between the towers. On -
according to the attache report cited above
J, the station had a group of 12 tapered
lattice towers 130 to 160 feet high. This
indicates that after the time otphotography
a tower was erected on each of the three
tower bases. Data on Tower Group B is
given in Table 6 (tower numbers are keyed
to Figure 8).
Structures: . The two transmitter
buildings, one 235 by 75 feet and one
(under construction) 275 by 75 feet, are
located midway between Tower Groups A
and B. These buildings are separated by
approximately 2,000 feet. A cooling pond

buildings. Also within the area are two
other buildings, 45 by 35 feet and 30 by
20 feet.

portion of the over-all installation. A
base for one stick mast is located 315
feet from the east aide pole of rhombic
No. 2, indicating that the mast may bepart
of a third rhombic to be constructed. It
cannot be determined whether the stick
masts for rhombics No. 1 and No. 2 have
been erected. No feed or dissipation lines
can be identified. Data on these rhombics
Is given in Table 7. No heighi measure-
ments can be determined.
The housing and support area, oc-
cupying approximately 140 acres and
adjacent to and south of the local broad-
casting station, contains at least 80 com-
pleted buildings and other buildings under
construction. It is served by an all-
weather road from Tashkent, and a spur
from the . Tashkent-Samarkand railroad
passes through its south portion.

The GCA installation consists of
a Home Talk approach radar, a Long

Cross HF/DF antenna, and several VHF
Disc Cone antennas. This installation
fits the description of the GCA reported
to be located at this airfield. J
According to collateral, the control
tower on top of the administration build.
ing has a standard VHF antenna, two VHF
antennas of the Disc Cone type, and one
probable FM antenna on a 15-foot mast.

STATION
A probable communication station is
located at 41-20-OON69-25-OOE, 5.5miles
east-northeast of the center of Tashkent
and on the north side of a road leading
southeast from Ordzhonikidze (see Figure
13). It consists of a probable operations
area which contains probable stick masts,
and a probable support area. The station
area is served bya 50-foot-wide concrete
road.
Antennas
Five probable stick masts, arranged
40 to 50 feet apart in a straight line,
are located approximately 800 feet west
of a probable control building. Ground
scars in the vicinity of the probable masts
indicate the existence olother stick masts.
Structurea
An enumeration of the structures in
the station area follows (numbers are
keyed to Figure 13).
In the probable operations area:
1. Gable-roofed probable control
building, 105 by 40 feet.
2. Flat-roofed building, 25 feet
square.
3. Gable-roofed building, 30 by 20
feet.
4. Gab10-r9ated building, 30 by 25
feet. 11 ..
In the probable support area:
5. Hip-rbofed building, 40 feet
square, with side shed.
6. Two buildings (one under com-
struction) each 25 by 15 feet.
