Radiation Incorporated / Harris TLM-18

One of the items transferred to Wall Township with the property was the Radiation Incorporated TLM-18 telemetry antenna.    This antenna is of a parabolic prime focus design, having a reflector 60 feet across.     The feed point mounting structure has been modified from the original design of 6 legs, to a modern design having 4 legs.

On April 13 2005, Harris Corporation made a substantial donation to begin the process to stabilize and preserve the massive antenna.   Efforts are underway to determine if the antenna can be restored to active use.
