Tropo Hill

Home of the 361st Signal Battalion (also Long-Lines North--Pleiku Detachment). Tropo Hill was the world's largest tropospheric scatter radio site in two ways: 1) physical area (27 acres) and 2) number of radio shots (Pri-Line, Monkey Mountain, Ban-Me-Thuot, An Khe, Vung Tau, Warin Thailand and one other for a total of 7).
