  Imperial Beach.  AFAIK it's been gone for quite a while.  When
  I first joined the FCC in the late Sixties, there were several
  such monitoring installations that were co-located with NSG
  facilities using their Type Ws.

  The straw that broke the camel's back was when we DFed the
  Appollo splashdowns to much greater accuracy than the Navy did,
  using the same antenna.  Their plotting system was computerized.
  Ours was still the compass-and- string system dating from years
  before WW-II.  This emvarrassed them no end and they were in no
  mood to renew the shared-use agreement when it ran out.
