ACCESSIBILITY 



The tower is about a mile from 

 shore and is within easy commuting dis- 

 tance of the Navy Electronics Laboratory. 

 It is also accessible by radio. A 140. 43 

 Mc/s communications network links the 

 tower with the NEL communications office, 

 the oceanographic division office, and all 

 small assigned boats. The network can 

 also be connected with other frequencies 

 used by the Laboratory's larger ocean- 

 ographic vessels. 



Personnel, laboratory equipment, 

 and operating supplies travel con- 

 veniently between dock and tower 

 on a 34-foot Navy personnel boat 

 (LCPL). This boat makes four 

 scheduled trips a day. It is also 

 available for operations around the 

 tower between trips, and at off 

 hours. Equipment is also trans- 

 ported by the boat and brought 

 aboard by means of boom and nylon 

 webbed basket.
