Within what New York based munitions storage and disposal facility was the LORAN-C transmitter Seneca located?
LORAN-C transmitter Seneca The LORAN-C transmitter Seneca was the master station of the Northeast US LORAN-C Chain (GRI 9960) and the X-Ray secondary station of the Great Lakes Chain (GRI 8970). It was located within the Seneca Army Depot in Romulus, New York, south of Geneva. It used a 1000 kilowatt, 742 foot (226.2 m) guyed mast that was constructed in 1977 and dedicated on August 2, 1978. The station was operated by United States Coast Guard and was located on a 250 acre piece of land within the 10,587 acre facility. The transmitter was used to guide ships and aircraft up to 1000 mi away. It was the first LORAN station to use solid state versus vacuum tube components.
Seneca Dam Seneca Dam was the last in a series of dams proposed on the Potomac River in the area of the Great Falls of the Potomac. Apart from small-scale dams intended to divert water for municipal use in the District of Columbia and into the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, no version of any scheme was ever built. In most cases the proposed reservoir would have extended upriver to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The project was part of a program of as many as sixteen major dams in the Potomac watershed, most of which were never built.
