[GreenKeys] Fwd: That's not a RTTY station........

[Chuck]

If you look at Stead Airfield out north of Reno, NV.  I has about the same layout, it was used for WW2 B-25 training so that must have been a "standard" layout at the time.

  Right across the road from what used to be a pretty large set of runways.  That three runway configuration was apparently a common design for air defenses during WWII.  I imagine the receiver might've been related, or maybe the gov't just already owned the land...  There's an airport in central Missouri that has the same layout and is now a general aviation field - two runways are still used, but the third was left to the elements and is pretty much toast.  It was supposedly put there so that planes could take off and be at cruising altitude by the time they got to St. Louis to defend the munitions plants there.  Looks a lot like the one in this satellite view.  This one probably would've been good for defending Lincoln, Sioux City, Omaha, or all three...
