I worked at Millstone Hill Radar every summer during college from 1981-1986. Best job I ever had. Worked all over that antenna, including power washing and painting the dish.
Those movies you save from being forgotten are pure diamonds in the flood of low quality informations we are bombarded every day. I'm fan of this channel. Thank you for all the hard work!
Heinrich Hertz, in the late 1800's, first detected that radio waves reflected of metal surfaces. This concept was later taken on by Robert Alexander Watson Watt who produced the first usable RADAR system.
@SciFi Author B.L. Alley Try audionotch , I too have a constant 11khz tinnitus. They found playing a low volume matching tone in the background helps suppress, I find it does help as counterintuitive as it sounds.
@SciFi Author B.L. Alley I was taken back when I did this and it briefly stopped my tinnitus, I pushed firmly, with my thumbs, on my rearest upper molars and it stopped. I have somatic tinnitus so it's not taken place in the brain but somewhere in the auditory nerves. Good luck with your case.
I now have information fatigue from watching this film. My career serendipitously evolved into working on air defense and air traffic contol systems. I worked on the major upgrade to the DEW Line system in the Eighties which was called variously the North Warn or Warning System and for a while the North Star System. It eventually got built by the early Nineties just in time for the "reorganization" of the so-called former Soviet Union. It has been completely dismantled for environmental reasons and if things keep going the way they are going that may turn out to have been a big mistake. Note at the time the film was made the FAA Enroute Air Traffic Control System had not yet been built.
Hi Dale, thanks very much for your feedback on this. It sounds like you had a very interesting career involved with these various technologies. So much is and was built that most people have little knowledge of. I sometimes think people used to be smarter than they are today. : ) ~ Thanks again. Hope you enjoy some of our other tech films as well. ~ Victor, CHAP
Very good.

Hi Randall, that sounds like quite the summer job! Very cool! ~ (how long does it take to paint an antenna like that?) ~ Victor, at CHAP
Still valid knowledge today.

Hi Radoslaw, thank you very much for the kind words. Very much appreciated! ~ Victor, CHAP
Very good point. Agreed.
my father worked in one of these radars as operators between 1960-75
Happy new year to everyone at CHAP. Thank you for all these wonderful films.
Hi Franko, thanks very much for the good wishes. Hope you have a great 2022 as well! ~ CHAP folks

Nice
Constant 7/14kHz whine on the audio track gave me a headache.
That's the CW carrier used in some RADAR.
@SciFi Author B.L. Alley BTW do you know the name Michael Schratt? Aircraft and UFO historian.

@SciFi Author B.L. Alley He's a good friend of mine and pilot, I just went to visit him from FL to CA...

In channel like distance is easy to make radar warn to useless. Make lot of fake flight and real randomly.
Not from around here are ya?
