Bettles FSS (BTT), Alaska 1952
Looking north towards the Brooks Range, the CAA Bettles FSS is located on the right and the runway on the left beyond the edge of the photo.  This facility provided air-to-ground communications with aircraft but point-to-point communications was accomplished by CW Morse code only.

The station manger and the supervisory electronic technician’s office’s were located in the north end of the building. The cables seen supported by tripods could not be buried underground because of permafrost.

This Facility is now closed.
