== History ==<br />
This site became an FAA radar site in 1963, furnishing radar track data to the FAA ARTCCs and to USAF Direction Centers. The initial FAA [[ARSR-2]] search radar remained in operation until it was modified to become a ([[CARSR]]) radar with a 7172 Antenna.<br />
<br />
{{FYQ-47Program}} By 1990 the site was equipped with an [[ARSR-2]] search radar and a [[CD-2|CD-2A]] Common Digitizer. The Cascade CD-2A was scheduled to receive an upgrade kit to implement three-level weather data processing in April 1992. <br />
