Port aux Basques, NF

The RCAF constructed 32 RD radar station on the coast of Newfoundland opposite to Pig Island, in the general area known as "Lakes Book" hill. It was a little under a kilometer from the RCAF site to the "town" of Port aux Basques, making use of a steep hill and a winding gravel road only wide enough to permit the progress of one vehile. The radar antenna for the RCAF site was located on top of a nearby "knoll" - which is the 150 foot elevation mark on the map. The RCAF site was located exactly one kilometer from the USCG LORAN site - which was opposite to Mouse Island.
