A local author, Archer Mayor has written a detective novel in which part of the action takes place there. The book is called "The Disposable Man" and is quite a good book if you like detective novels (I do).
The "Historical Record of the 911th Radar Squadron" for the period ending 31 March 1963 lists the following equipment:
AN/FPS-6A (one)
AN/MPS-11 (one)
AN/MPS-14 (one)
AN/FST-2B (one)
AN/GRT-3 (twenty-six)
AN/GRR-7 (twenty-six)
AN/GRC-27 (one)
AN/GKA-5 (one)
Also, I have the personnel list from that period.. 7 officers assigned, 1 attached, 166 airmen asigned, 13 attached, 6 civilians assigned, 4 attached.
Apparently, there is even reference to the base in a book about the "Hells Angels"; apparently it was used to "dispose of" an angel gone bad. It has quite a reputation among the State Police in the area.
