CONSTRUCTION
Test Command furnished items are as follows:
a) VLF noise
Station, loop antenna, one trailer; b) log periodic antenna 100-ft. high by 250ft. wide by 340-ft. long, one instrument trauler; c) C-4 Ionosounder Station; d)
one sounder receiver; and, e) one 250 gallon water tank for laboratory use.
Contractor requirements include: a) erect 40-it. pole for VLF station, mount
loop antenna on pole, locate trailer 300-ft. from antenna; b}) prepare 250 x 340ft. area for log periodic antenna and point toward Midway Atoll, locate instrument trailer; c) erect 90-ft. contractor furnished pole, with C-4 Ionosounder
station antenna, in center of 135-ft. diameter area at eastern end of runway; the
area should be electrically noise free in the | mc to 30 mc frequency range; d)
site the sounder receiver in an electrically noise free
area,
e) build a 10 x 15-{ft.
wood frame building for a combination laboratory office, the building is to be
lighted and air conditioned; and, f) install 250 gallon water tank. Contractor
furnished electrical power: C-4 Ionosounder requires 10 kw, 120 volt, 60 cycle,
Single phase; VLF requires 15 kw, 115 volt, 00 cycle, single phase, and, the
sounder receiver requires 1 kw, 115 volt, 60 cycle, single phase. Refer to
Figure A-22 Appendix A, for location. Six scientific personnel will be assigned
to Subtask A605 at this location.
