communicating with our submarine fleet. Satellite communications made
it obsolete and no longer needed.

I thought they still had some VLF stuff. I remember they were
protesting in Alaska because there was some kind of array up there
(HAARP?).
This array was supposed to be capable of talking to a sub under the
polar ice. They said it was screwing up the Caribou and Polar Bears,
maybe even altering human DNA or some other horrible thing. There were
signs hanging around everywhere once you got out of Anchorage.



There are several Navy VLF transmitters still in operation according to Wiki

There's one in Cutler, Maine, another in Washington state, one in
Australia and another in Hawaii. The one in Australia is no longer
operated by the US or Australian Navy. It's operation has been
subcontracted to Raytheon Australia.

I spent a total of four years at two different transmitter sites with
VLF equipment. The one in Ponce, Puerto Rico and the one in Annapolis
have since been decommissioned.

They shut down the one in Alaska too. That was far more than a tall
tower tho. This was acres of antenna.

Most of those sites also had Low Frequency and High Frequency
transmitters and the necessary antennas for them. The one in Puerto
Rico had many in addition to the VLF transmitter. Same with the one in
Annapolis, MD. I forget exactly how many but I remember at least 15 to
20 HF transmitters and maybe about 10 Low Freq transmitters. More
transmitters than antennas but there was a big board where you could
patch a particular transmitter to a particular antenna.
