Default Fading Signal: The Neglect of Electronic Warfare.

In 1966 the North Vietnamese with their Russian instructors began shooting
down U.S. aircraft over NVN. Someone in the Navy had the wisdom and
foresight to have on hand 1,000 ALQ-51 deception repeaters originally
dedicated to aircraft protection during execution of the Navy portion of the
SIOP.

Those ALQ-51s were rounded up from all over the globe (some were found in
Antarctica)


I have to ask, is there a story behind the presence of ALQ-51s in
Antarctica?

Thanks!
