My copy is not good but I can look them up in the paper and copy them. If any one would like a copy. There was an article, maybe two, in the Argyle Alas – Jan. 16, 1958.

See http://ed-thelen.org/chicago_ring.gif and http://ed-thelen.org/radar-ring-chi-mil.html . The Argyle radar site was designated as CM-71R. Hope this helps. For Paula Fredrickson:

Perhaps contacting a few of the NIKE Wisconsin area reunion groups, to see if they have any info. I checked my sources and cound not find any reference to the Wisconsin site you mentioned.

Wisconsin. (The highest point in the area). The site was to "guard" Chicago from the Soviert Union but I cannot find any references to it on the web, in any form but it was there and many oldtimers, including four area women who married four of the 16 men manning the station at that time, can attest to it. How can I find out more and I wonder why it is not listed on any site..... Thanking you in advance Hello,

Waldorf ,Maryland There was a Nike Missle Facility about 3 miles North of the Waldorf Town Center. The site was deactivated in the late 1960's.
