DESCRIPTION A new building to house equipment for the TACAN unit was
constructed at the east end of Johnston Island south of the runway. The building is a 15 1/2 x 27-ft. wood frame structure on a concrete slab and is covered
With corrugated asbestos cement siding and built-up roofing. The building was
partitioned to provide approximately 178 square feet of space for a 30 kw standby generator. The remaining 244 square feet of the building provides air conditioned space to house TACAN equipment. A 30-ft. antenna tower was placed
adjacent to the building. The Base TACAN Building is connected into the island
electrical system and requires approximately 30 kw power for critical equipment
and 15 kw for noncritical purposes.
