| Cobra Mist (588 words) |
 | The radar was controlled from a large steel blockhouse which stood on short legs behind the array and was connected to the array by cables running to an underground chamber, lined with copper, in front of the array. |
| Despite considerable efforts to establish the source of the noise and eliminate it, the background noise continued to severely affect the radars performance and eventually it was decided that the economics of attempting to overcome the problem simply couldn't be justified, the entire project was cancelled and the radar dismantled and removed. |
