Oso Washington (Aug. 13, 2012) - Contractors work on the insulator of one of the 35 antenna towers located at Jim Creek Naval Radio Station. The antenna towers are 200ft tall and are atop the moutaninsides where the top elevation is near 3,000ft. Jim Creek is a United States Navy facility in Oso, Washington. The primary mission of this radio site is to provide VLF radio transmitting capabilities for the Pacific submarine fleet. Established in the 1950s, the 1.2 million watt transmitting system developed for the site remains 'state -of-the-art' in producing low frequency emissions world-wide. In fact it is one of the most powerful transmitters in the world.(U.S. Navy photo by Robin Hicks/Released)
