Here is a nice photo of the grounds and buildings at Duncan. This would be in 1970 when I was stationed there. Photo from atop a range tower as I was changing obstruction lights. One task I did not care for but the ET's would not climb so the plant guys had to do the antenna maintenance. Guess I don't have a photo of the White Alice mountain top before the structure was built.


Here are a couple more Pictures of interest. Think these are all the good pictures of the station I have unless you'd like to know how the fishing was. :).

 
The first is again atop the range tower and shows the dock area and fuel storage tank across the canal at the road that leads up the mountain to the White Alice site. That's Whitty's (ET) boat anchored off the point.


This second photo is taken in the 1950's. Thats Billy Hendries and his lab taken from the range building and dwelling. There is no type 61 house and notice the towers and antennas which were for the link to Narrow Point and Sunset Cove as there was no White Alice in those days. Please notice in the 1950's my brother-in-law Carl (ET) did not cut the grass but when I was there (Plant Man) the grass was cut. One of the most enjoyable assignment locations I ever had and had a wife that really enjoyed that type of living as well. For someone who did not take care of his slides the 50 year old ones are still pretty good.
