630th Radar Squadron The 630th Radar Squadron is a previous designation of a provisional United States Air Force ( USAF ) unit . It is assigned to Air Combat Command to activate or inactivate as needed . It was last stationed at Howard AFB , Panama . It was last inactivated on 1 June 1999 . History . The squadron was first activated in the Panama Canal Zone as an aircraft direction and control squadron , collocated with its parent group in 1946 when the Army Air Forces ( AAF ) assumed the radar detection mission previously performed by the Signal Corps . The group performed the aircraft detection , warning and control mission for the Canal Zone for Sixth Air Force ( later Caribbean Air Command ) . The squadron was inactivated in 1948 as the USAF reduced the size of its forces in the Caribbean . The squadron was redesignated and activated once again as an element of Tactical Air Command ( TAC ) ' s mobile warning and control system when the 157th Tactical Control Group , a Missouri Air National Guard unit that had been federalized for the Korean War was returned to state control and its elements replaced at Alexandria AFB , Louisiana by elements of the regular Air Force 532d Tactical Control Group in late 1953 . Moved with the 532nd to Otis AFB , Massachusetts in 1954 , where the group was redesignated the 532nd Aircraft Control & Warning Group and transferred with its squadrons from TAC to Air Defense Command ( ADC ) . The group and squadron were inactivated before the end of the year . Activated a third time in 1972 as an ADC radar squadron , it was colocated with a Federal Aviation Administration control center in Houston , Texas as part of the Southern Air Defense System ( SADS ) In 1969 , the inadequacy of the radar coverage to the south of the United States were dramatically illustrated whan a Cuban MiG - 17 went undetected before it landed at Homestead AFB , and two years later , an An - 24 similarly arrived unanounced at New Orleans International Airport . As a result , ADC established SADS with the squadron operating a manual control center at the Houston ARTCC and added radars to supplement the existing Federal Aviation Administration coverage in the area , which were manned by the Operating Locations of the squadron . The squadron spent its longest active period when it returned to Panama under its earlier designation as the 630th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron in 1988 . Once again named a Radar Squadron the following year , it focused on counter drug operations . In 1994 , it was renumbered to its parent wing ' s number . It was finally inactivated when the USAF shut down its operations in Panama in conjunction with the turnover of the former Canal Zone to Panama . Lineage . Assignments Stations

NSS Annapolis NSS Annapolis , officially known as Naval Communications Station Washington , D . C . Transmitter or NavCommStaWashingtonDC ( T ) , was a Very Low Frequency ( VLF ) and High Frequency ( HF ) transmitter station operated by the United States Navy . It was located at Greenbury Point , in Anne Arundel County , across the Severn River from Annapolis , Maryland at coordinates . NSS Annapolis was used by the USN for submarine communication . The station consisted of an umbrella antenna supported by a 1 , 200 - foot ( 365 . 76 m ) high central mast , which was insulated against ground , 6 guyed masts of 800 - foot ( 243 . 84 m ) and 3 freestanding towers of the same height . The huge towers were a local landmark , and served as a visual reporting point for aircraft landing at the nearby Baltimore - Washington International ( BWI ) airport . A golf course ran through the VLF antenna farm ; special rules addressed hitting a tower with your ball ( usually stroke and distance ) . The NSS HF receiver station , and the headquarters for NavCommStaWashingtonDC ( T ) , was located at the Naval Communications Station in Cheltenham , Maryland until 1969 . In late 1969 , the receiver station at Cheltenham closed and a new receiver station was activated at Sugar Grove , West Virginia . NSS began transmitting in September , 1918 using 500 kilowatt Poulson Arc transmitters . However , arc transmitters were significantly inferior to the then state - of - the - art Alexanderson alternator and the arc transmitters were replaced by more modern vacuum tube transmitters in 1931 . VLF , or " longwave " radio was the standard at the time for long range radio transmission , later to be generally replaced by shortwave . VLF later became essential for communicating with submerged submarines , a critically important capability as submarines became strategic missile platforms . The NSS transmitter fed one million watts of radio energy to its antenna , and during idle times , transmitted the string " W W W VVV VVV VVV DE NSS NSS NSS " in Morse code . The power was so high and the frequency so low , you could hear the signal on practically any kind of receiver anywhere in the Annapolis area ( not to mention within some people ' s dental work ) . Actual messages were also sent in Morse code , but were either prearranged code signals or were encrypted . Rendered obsolete by satellite technology and the end of the cold war , NSS ceased operation and most of all of the antennas and most of the towers were demolished in 1999 . Only three of the smaller towers were preserved for historic reasons .
