Christmas Valley Air Force Station Christmas Valley Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located about 16 miles east of the community of Christmas Valley , Oregon . It was closed in 1997 . History . Development of Christmas Valley AFS can be traced to work undertaken by USAF Rome Air Development Center ( RADC ) engineers in the early 1970s who were developing an over the horizon backscatter radar ( OTH - B ) system . The system was based on a frequency modulation / continuous wave ( FM / CW ) radar capable of detecting and tracking objects at over - the - horizon ranges . In concept it involved bouncing radar signals off the ionosphere which allows radar to overcome the curvature of the earth . A small scale test receiver / transmitter was established in central western Maine at what would become Moscow AFS by the early 1980s . Initial testing was conducted from June 1980 to June 1981 . Successful testing resulted in the decision to develop operational OTH - B systems for the east and west coasts and in Alaska . The west coast OTH - B system was designed and built by GE Aerospace and consisted of an AN / FPS - 118 radar with the transmitter located at Christmas Valley AFS and the receiver at the newly constructed Tule Lake AFS , California . The transmitter and receiver stations were staffed by personnel of the 777th Radar Squadron . Data processing took place at Mountain Home AFB , Idaho . The fall of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War saw the OTH - B systems rendered obsolete for detecting intruding military aircraft , however , the OTH - B continued operations until 1997 and its data saw use by the United States Border Patrol for tracking aircraft used by drug smugglers , as well as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration which made use of the measurements of ocean currents and weather patterns . The facility was placed in " warm storage " in 1997 and in 2002 it was deactivated and placed in " cold storage " with equipment removed from the site .
