The radar site is located immediately alongside US Rte 13 (Lankford Highway) on the west side of the road, about two (2) miles south of Temperanceville. The section of road in front of the site is nicknamed “Radar Curve” (reportedly the scene of several fatal automobile accidents). The present owner repairs power equipment, and named his company “Radar Curve Equipment.” The building has a rare configuration: it is “left-handed.” That is, when you stand inside looking at the radar-tower end of the building, the diesel-generator wing is on the left. In most other known cases, the diesel-generator wing is on the right. [Note: At least one other gap-filler facility, namely the Whitewater GFA, MT, also has a left-handed configuration.]
