CONSTRUCTION The AME facility (completed in 1965) monitors the flight of rockets and provides information on their location. The facility consists of sixteen (16) pole-mounted antennas and a preamp shelter. In plan, the anten- nas are arrayed in four (4) circles of varying radii: 47-ft., 63-ft., 142-ft., and i89-ft. The antennas are located in a cleared and level (+ 1l-ft.) circular area of 500-ft. diameter. Debris and soil removed during the clearing process was piled around the perimeter of the area to form a natural fence. The antennas are precisely located. The relative location of any given anten- na with respect to any other is within 0.001-ft. in elevation, azimuth, and horizontal distance. A preamp shelter (Building 684) is located in the center of the AME Field. The shelter is a 3 x 8 x 4-ft. high wood frame structure with plywood siding. Signal cables laid in a concrete trough extend from the cable termination shelter in the secure trailer compound to Building 684 and to each antenna. Direct burial power cable extends parallel to the signal cable trough. Power supplied is 208 volt, 60 cycle, 3 phase. 11-12 VOL II
