Amchitka Island

The Wikipedia page for Amchitka Island notes that there was a White Alice station at Amchitka from 1959 to 1961. My neighbor (ex-navy) has a t-shirt with graphics that look a lot like a White Alice station communicating to ships in the Pacific and text about some sort of fleet communication via Amchitka. Should Amchitka be included in the list of White Alice locations? P.bacina (talk) 01:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm not certain about Amchitka. The main source for this list was a HAER survey. It details the system and discusses Project Bluegrass, which added hops to Adak and a hop directly to Shemya from Adak. This would seem to bypass Amchitka. http://www.whitealice.com/ also does not mention it. We'd need more specific sources than the fairly vague epa stuff on the other page.. --Dual Freq (talk) 01:57, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

The Navy T-Shirt (googling fleet surveillance support command "Amchitka") likely refers to the Relocatable Over-the-Horizon Radar that was deployed to Amchitka. White Alice was not used to communicate via radio to ships. --Dual Freq (talk) 13:37, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
