Havana site because Google tried to put a Browser Hijack Object into Explorer (even though I use Firefox) and I don't allow those on my computer. Coordinates are 22 degrees 57 minutes 2 seconds north, 82 degrees, 32 minutes, 41 seconds west and it looks good from a virtual zoom elevation of around 3600 feet. These coordinates are also relatively close to those given on the FAS site for the Lourdes base, which are east of Bauta between it and the airport. -hugh __ Spooks mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks Help: http://mailman.qth.net/faq.htm Post: mailto:Spooks@mailman.qth.net - Visit http://www.spynumbers.com/ for complete information about Spy Numbers Stations

Re: [Spooks] V2, M8, RHC on Google Earth
Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list I've added two placemarks to the Utility World web site: These sure look like radio telescope dishes on the old Lourdes base: http://www.ominous-valve.com/lourdes.kmz Suspected Radio Havana Cuba site: http://www.ominous-valve.com/poss_rhc.kmz Save these in whatever directory you have the Google Earth placemarks in, then load them into the program. This is the first time I've done this, so I hope they work. -hugh __ Spooks mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks Help: http://mailman.qth.net/faq.htm Post: mailto:Spooks@mailman.qth.net - Visit http://www.spynumbers.com/ for complete information about Spy Numbers Stations

Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list I've found another abandoned ball field. Lourdes, after all, was a big base. -hugh __ Spooks mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks Help: http://mailman.qth.net/faq.htm Post: mailto:Spooks@mailman.qth.net - Visit http://www.spynumbers.com/ for complete information about Spy Numbers Stations
[Spooks] V2, M8, RHC on Google Earth
Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list Google Earth recently added a high-resolution aerial picture of the Havana area, and it's become quite the pastime to poke around looking for stuff. One good area is south and west of Havana near a little town named Bauta, which has a lot of military bases (and, according to one poster, a no-tell motel). Various people have posted place marks to Google's BBS identifying what they think they see. Well, if you go to 22 degrees 57 minutes 2 seconds north and 82 degrees 32 minutes 41 seconds west, and zoom in to about the 3685 foot level, you will find a pretty obvious transmitter building in the middle of a very large antenna farm. Nobody's marked it, and I didn't either because Google Earth tries to hijack your browser if you start an account, and I wouldn't let it. Unfortunately, aerial photography flattens things out and towers never show up well, but at least here they are casting shadows. Also you see the generator off to the left, a storage area, and a lot of little dirt roads out to clearings that might or might not still have antennas in them. To the west there's a microwave tower (identifiable by its shadow on the ground) and an access road with a guard gate. This is quite the facility. I wonder if I've found Radio Havana Cuba. Another guy has marked something he suspects is V2/M8. I don't know if he's right or not. There are definitely rather odd patterns on the field that might or might not be holding up wire beams or antenna arrays. They're kind of teardrop shaped, and note the high towers in the middle. I thought I also saw a microwave tower, but I think it's actually an AC transmission line. Finally someone else has marked what he thinks is the remains of the closed Lourdes sigint base, but I agree with another poster that he's too far to the north. You go south and a bit west, and there is something that sure looks like a group of low buildings being eaten by the hurricanes and tropical weather, and a baseball field that's been turned back to agricultural use. The infield still shows up. It's definitely an abandoned military/government facility of some sort. (You do not have a military base in Cuba without a ball field. You just don't.) -hugh __ Spooks mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks Help: http://mailman.qth.net/faq.htm Post: mailto:Spooks@mailman.qth.net - Visit http://www.spynumbers.com/ for complete information about Spy Numbers Stations
