Opana Radar Site The Opana Radar Site is a National Historic Landmark and IEEE Milestone that commemorates the first operational use of radar by the United States in wartime , during the attack on Pearl Harbor . It is located off the Kamehameha Highway just inland from the north shore of Oahu , Hawaii , south of Kawela Bay . It is not open to the public . History . In December 1939 , the U . S . military established an Aircraft Warning Service ( AWS ) using radar to defend American territory . It employed the SCR - 270 radar , the first United States long - range search radar created at the Signal Corps laboratories at Fort Monmouth , New Jersey , circa 1937 . The radar ' s operating frequency was 106 megahertz and had a maximum range of 150 miles , or greater if the equipment was at an elevated site . Under the command of Col . Wilfred H . Tetley the AWS established six mobile radar detector sites on O ' ahu at Kawaiola , Wainaae , Ka ' a ' awa , Koko Head , Schofield Barracks , and Fort Shafter . On Thanksgiving Day in 1941 , the Schofield Barracks radar set was moved to the Opana Radar Site , a location 532 feet above sea level with unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean . The set comprised four trucks carrying the transmitter , modulator , water cooler , receiver , oscilloscope , operator , generator and antenna . Attack on Pearl Harbor . On December 7 , 1941 , the Opana Radar Site was manned by Private Joseph L . Lockard and Private George Elliot , who detected approaching aircraft at 7 : 02 am ( past the end of the site ' s scheduled operating day ) since the truck to take them to breakfast was late the pair continuined to practice with the radar equipment . The men reported their findings to the temporary information center at Fort Shafter . The information center staff had gone to breakfast and Lt . Kermit Tyler received the report . Tyler reasoned that the activity was a flight of Army B - 17 Flying Fortress bombers scheduled to arrive that morning and advised the radar crew not to worry . Elliot and Lockard continued plotting the incoming planes until 7 : 40 when contact was lost . Shortly before 8 : 00 am they headed to Kawailoa for breakfast and only learned about the attack when they arrived . Elliot and Lockard rushed back to Opana and operated the radar until the attack ended . Today . Today , a modern Navy telecommunications station occupies the top of the Opana Hill adjacent to the site . The station is a relay for the Department of State ' s Diplomatic Telecommunications Service . The former site is a National Historic Landmark and IEEE Milestone . Since the 1941 radar was a mobile unit , there is no physical evidence of the historic unit at the site . There is a commemorative plaque on the grounds of the Turtle Bay Resort at the foot of Opana Hill .

Achaean War The Achaean War was an uprising by the Greek Achaean League , an alliance of Achaean and other Peloponnesian states in ancient Greece , against the Roman Republic around 146 BC , just after the Fourth Macedonian War . Rome defeated the League swiftly , and as a lesson , they destroyed the ancient city of Corinth . The war ended with Greece ' s independence taken away , and Greece became the Roman provinces of Achaea and Epirus . The Roman Republic had developed close ties to the League of Achaeans through similar religious and military beliefs and a cooperation in the previous Macedonian War . But , the ties were soon disturbed after a series of disputes and interference in the decision making of the league by the Romans , who insisted that Sparta be released from the protection and inclusion in the league . The Spartans had become increasingly opposed to the power that the League held , especially with their relations of the increasingly powerful Romans . The League had desecrated Spartan land , torn down their walls , and disrupted the traditional military educational systems of Spartan Children . Regardless of the uncooperative actions that the Spartans took against the League , under the leadership of Aratus of Sicyon , the Greek confederacy chose to maintain an alliance with the disliked city of Sparta , and thus declared war on the more powerful Romans . The Achaean War of 146 BC led to the disbanding of the League , the destruction of two cities Corinth and Patras as punishment , and a permanent Roman rule in all cities associated with the league .
