Haiku Valley is located on the windward (East) side of the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. The cliffs surrounding the valley stand over 2300 feet above the valley floor.

January 20, 1943 Haiku Valley. View North-west from 9,000 feet .Several roads have been cut the length of the valley. Antenna Anchor construction sites are barely visible on both the south and north ridges. Notice the razor thin edge at the top of the cliff. Photo preserved and submitted by Tom Mersinger.

Same photo cropped. Residue is streaming down the cliff from the antenna anchor sites. Four antennas, designed for the Alternator, were strung from the ridges. A 5th, for the TCG, was located farther east and lower on the cliff.Photo courtesy of Tom Mersinger.

January 1943. Construction of four antennas, each over a mile in length, had just begun: Each antenna reached across to the North side of the valley. The hoist ran down into the valley and transported all the material for the huge antenna anchor counterweights: Shown here protected by tents. More photos of the hoist follow.Photo from Fort DeRussy Army Museum Archives.

This view shows the four south-side antenna sites. The fourth tent is barely visible just left of the CCL house (Communications Control Link) that held radio equipment designed to relay keying signals to the transmitter in the valley in an emergency. The knife like ridge made all the work difficult and dangerous. Note: The white circular roads are 2500 feet below the ridge.

The article mentions five cables. Four cables were for the primary transmitter (The Alexander Alternator) the fifth cable antenna was fed by the TCG vacuum tube backup transmitter. The majority of the uncredited photos in this gallery are courtesy of TED URQUHART, LEN HARDY and REG HUBLEY.
