    Contractors work on a lowered antenna span as part of the 2012 Antenna Replacement Project at Jim Creek Naval Radio Station. Some of the cable spans are over 1 mile long and span the distance between two 3,000 feet mountain ranges. Jim Creek is a United States Navy facility near Oso, Washington. The primary mission of this radio site is to provide VLF radio transmitting capabilities for the Pacific submarine fleet. Established in the 1950s, the 1.2 million watt transmitting system developed for the site remains "state -of-the-art" in producing low frequency emissions world-wide. In fact it is one of the most powerful transmitters in the world.(U.S. Navy photo by Robin Hicks/Released)
