The White Alice Communications System was a United States Air Force Telecommunication network with 80 radio stations constructed in Alaska during the Cold War. It used Tropospheric scatter for over-the-horizon links and microwave relay or shorter line-of-site links. Sites were characterized by large parabolic, tropospheric scatter antennas as well as smaller microwave dishes for point to point links.
The system connected remote Air Force sites in Alaska, such as Aircraft Control and Warning, Distant Early Warning Line and Balistic Missle Early Warning Signal, to command and control facilities and in some cases it was used for civilian phone calls. The system was advanced for its time, but became obsolete within 20 years following the advent of Satellite Communications.
Its a cool place to visit with a good view.
