Ray KA3EKH,  Has again secured The Fort Miles site in cape Henlopen seashore state park Delaware.   Although it did not directly play a part in able archer  83 it was a pivotal Cold War installation.  Fort miles buildings were Known as NAVFAC naval facilities Lewes And was home to a sinus submarine relay station.    It’s silently stood watch listening for Soviet boomers transiting the Atlantic.
