AK-SPa-2015.6.21#001.2. The White Alice Tropospheric Antennas on the top of Anvil Mountain Nome. It was built by the military for more accurate remote communications (WACs) in the early 1950's. It also served as a Distant Early Warning (DEW) line covering the Arctic Circle. It became obsolete with Satellite Communication. Seward Peninsula Alaska. Four people on the far right of the ridge give some perspective to the size. This is one of only a couple of White Alice sites that the Dept. of Defense didn't dismantle in the 1970's and 80's.
