Better known as Radio City.

This naval radio site was first established in September 1942 in Navytown to the south. The station, then a tent, housed two transmitters and several receivers powered by a 7-kilowatt generator.

The station was then moved to this location in September 1943. This site and the high frequency direction finding station at Zeto Point combined to form Naval Communications Station, Adak in October 1955. It was recommissioned as Naval Security Group Adak and moved to its present site in 1977 and decommissioned in 1995.
