Another area without a thread of its own, and yet it is critical.
Area 22 is our responsibility (22 Wing out of Nort Bay monitoring the North Warning Sites)
The US has maintained Over-The-Horizon-Backscatter sites since at least the 1980s
Our current purchase of the Australian JORN is us playing catch-up.

I understand that we will actually need three arrays. The first one in the Borden area is focused towards Greenland and effectively overlapping with Maine's sector 1 and effectively covers the Halifax SRR. There will be another covering off the Victoria SRR direction over the pacific and a third will be required for the Trenton SRR geography over the Arctic. That sounds as if the Arctic one will be built in the Alert - Eureka area. I presume that the western one, like the eastern one, will be built inland.
