My uncle was an OTRG Radioman (Cryptology) and spent most of his 30 years at several of these stations. I was an OS and worked with the CTs and ISs (and EWs and RMs) throughout my career. I had this rudimentary patch made for our ship's CIC/Spook team in '88.

I posted this one in the really big Patch thread, The patch is for CT's flying with VQ-1, confirmed by a CT who has the patch. The background actually represents Japan.

NAVRADSTA(T) Mt. Moffett - U.S. Naval Radio Station Transmitter, Mount Moffett, Adak Alaska

 

post-2322-0-74013000-1502563872.jpg

 

The receiver site was located at Clam Lagoon, and the transmitter site was moved farther up the slope of Mt. Moffett, near the old Rocky Point transmitter site. All major buildings were to be constructed of reinforced concrete. The Receiving Station was to have a receiver building, a terminal building, power plant, and facilities for berthing two hundred and fifty men. The Mt. Moffett site was to have a building to house the transmitting equipment, a power plant, and facilities to berth and feed thirty men.
