 in the Cascade Mountains of Washington, the Navy opens the world's largest radio transmitter. Its one million watts can flash a message around the world in a tenth of a second. A ship or installation anywhere on the globe can be instantly reached from Radio Jim Creek as the station is known. Built at a cost of $14 million, the station embodies the last word in radio transmission and is a giant step forward in the Navy's network of communications. The biggest thing that Jim Creek does is we provide operational command and control communications for Pacific Submarine Fleet. Jim Creek was established and built in the late 40s, early 50s. It was one of several sites across the U.S. that was surveyed for this specific type of an array between two mountains. It was the best spot out of about 13 other spots, so they chose it to build it here. At the time, it was the world's largest transmitter. Where we're at right now, we get coverage across the entire Pacific Ocean into the Indian Ocean and back across the continental United States and into the Atlantic. So because of where we're located at and the footprint that we get across the world, it's one of the reasons why Jim Creek is still around. The primary mission of Jim Creek is obviously the transmitter and the VLF broadcast, but it's also used as a secondary recreational facility also for active duty, retired and dependents. You can tour that the Interpretive Center has a diorama of the facility, has equipment that was originally installed here that has been taken out and preserved. It's a really interesting perspective if you wanna learn more, we'll be actually in here.
