I guess they were used a many military sites. In 1984 I helped
install a 250w commercial VHF link from top of Mt. Balleyhoo (above
Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians) and there was the remains of many 90
foot wooden poles arrayed up in a valley on the side of the mountain
that was used by the military in WWII. I would guess they held
rhombic arrays as the poles were in lines with total length probably 1000-foot.
Dutch Harbor was attacked by Japan in WWII but did not fall to the
Japanese like Attu and Kiska Islands did. The campaigns often
referred to as the "Forgotten War". Only US territory occupied by
enemy forces since the war of 1812.
There were abandoned concrete gun emplacements on the cliffs on top
of the mountain - interesting to explore and look out of thinking how
it was in 1942.
