July 2021 photos by Tom Page 

Many recent photos were already available here, so I am adding just three new photos showing the remaining AN/FPS-6A height-finder radar tower tower foundations and cable trough.  This was the height-finder radar tower that was due south of the search radar tower.  The second height-finder radar tower, due east of the search radar tower, had no visible remains.
