Active between 1957 and 1979, the Sparrevohn White Alice Communications System (WACS) site, callsign SVW, provided a three-way troposcatter communications link between Big Mountain AFS to the South, Aniak AFS to the West and Tatalina AFS to the North through 120, 135 and 126 mile shots respectively. The site was idled and replaced with an Alascom satellite earth terminal in 1979 and was razed and enviromentally remediated by 2005 during "Operation Clean Sweep"
