Oak Grove, VA

Thanks to OZOB99 for his contributions to this page.

Oak Grove was a Long Lines microwave radio auxiliary (repeater) station linking Waldorf, MD and Aylett, VA. The station contained type TD radio equipment for the 4 GHz band, and TH equipment for the 6 GHz band. Oak Grove also had a type TE microwave link to the Dahlgren, VA naval reservation; service for that facility was later transferred to Waldorf.

The Aylett-Waldorf route was equipped with baseband encryption due to its heavy concentration of priority circuits.
