From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hawes Radio Tower was a 373.7 metres ( 1226 ft ) tall guyed mast used by the USAF Survivable Low Frequency Communications System Site, which was built on the former Hawes Airfield at Hinkley, California, USA at 34°55′1″N 117°22′36″W / 34.91694, -117.37667. Hawes Radio Tower was a mast radiator insulated against ground, which should allow communication in case of a nuclear war. In the mid-1980s, the site was given up and in 1986, the mast was demolished by explosives. However, some relicts of the basements are still there.
