The SCR-582 surveillance radar site at Fort Schwatka included an equipment room on the main level of the HDCP complex and an antenna installed on the roof of the facility.

Harbor Defense Observation Post No. 3, or HDOP 3, consisted of an observation room above the main HDCP complex, and was accessed by a stairway from the lower level.

Detail of the antenna mount. Interestingly, the blister appears to have been mounted directly on the roof of the observation station, rather than a platform or tower.
