- North West Cape trip in July 2016 to the Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt located on the northwest coast of Australia, 6 km north of the town of Exmouth, Western Australia.
The station provides very low frequency (VLF) radio transmission to United States Navy and Royal Australian Navy ships and submarines in the western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean. The frequency is 19.8 kHz. With a transmission power of 1 megawatt. - Наука та технологія
I was stationed here in 1970 to 1972 as a encrypted electronic communication enjoyed my stay there very much.Great duty station
I worked on tower zero in the early 70's, changing lights, and basic antenna maintenance. I also did concrete and cable replacement work on the other 12 to ensure their foundations were up to specifications (working as a Laborer for the Antenna Crew. They also stuck me working on the towers at the Receiver and Transmitter Site). I spent many hours waiting to be picked up after a day's work - so much fun. The elevator went up around a 1000 feet and you had to climb the last 276 feet (at least I think that was the distance.) . That was my first time at Holt with my father and me as a dependent. I then joined the Navy and was blessed with another tour as a Radioman Supervisor and then a Teletype Technician (Thanks to RM2 Denny Larson - best tech ever). Anyways, to all, If you ever get the opportunity to visit the town of Exmouth, don't miss it.)
My wife's father is the project manager for the upkeep of these towers and the naval pier. The wooden room amazes me as everything is made from wood down to the nuts and bolts as it isn't a conductor
Just got back from two weeks at Exmouth and the towers dominate the cape, fantastic engineering. Do you have any photos of the wooden room?
@@petermiles6557 Nah I've been told. It's in a UA-cam movie I found the other day after watching this one also. It's called "North West Cape"
Thanks Peter . I served at the VLF station back in 1990 and have not been back there since.
Do you know if there is a scientific reason why the array is set up in this particular pattern?
You're right. the vid can't show the sheer size of the towers, especially tower zero, which used to be the tallest structure in the Southern hemisphere. I was stationed there from 1989-1992, and the base was turned over to the Aussies, and is a shell of what it once was.
Was there still a building called "The Bauman Center" by the pool on base? I know it was there in 1987 when we left. Named after my parents. It was a youth center.
I was offered orders to go there in 1992. I was a seabee. But I knew it was very isolated and no where near the east coast of Australia. I also talked to a construction electrician that was in my battalion who was stationed there for a couple years and told me what it was like. Needless to say I ended up getting out instead.
Was stationed there 1972 - 1973, very hot in the summer, we drank Swan Lager to keep cool.
I was a VLF supv while in the US NAVY 90-92. I plan a visit there soon.
I'm sure you would have enjoyed your stay, it's a fantastic place.
Any interesting stories?, Nothing too classified........
Awesome video...saves me a long trip from the east coast
Still worth the trip
No one talking about the shape of the star of David? Please understand it was built to those specifications and just why?
The metatrons cube, there's extensive archeological evidence from discovered thoth emerald tablets that say its has to do with 0 point energy and apparently there has been documented alien activity in that area

And why would you need this tower to communicate with submarines when apparently we have space satellite communications
@@adamcooper9657
The low frequency can be detected/received under water. 'Regular' radio and satellite signals, can not penetrate the sea's surface.
@@adamcooper9657 Because the higher the frequency, the shorter it travels through water. Also Antenna size is determined by wavelength. The lower the frequency, the bigger the antenna.
I was a US Navy ET that worked on SITE at the VLF from '88 to '90. I never could figure out why they put that little 1.5 inch speaker on the supervisor console to alert the duty RM when we had a crowbar. I mean... there was a bolt of man -made lightning going off inside the main breakers a few dozen feet away. Not like you were going to mistake it for something else. I guess you had to be there. LOL
I worked at this base in 1997..👍
Lol they said in the middle of the desert, it's on a cape, anyway the shape caught my eye
Why do you feel the need to add spooky music to this video. Its just a VLF transmitter site designed to pass messages to submarines under the sea.
Yes why ?
@@Sanchoopiments because the Royal Autrailian Navy and the United States Navy both like to ensure they can effectively communicate with their ships and submarines at sea. Why is that difficult to understand?
Tony B He meant the music idiot
If you go down the Hexagrammic /Saturnalia rabbit hole, there you will find answers:

@@MikeBerbano Right! Sure you will.
Thanks for the taking the time to comment. I think the video doesn’t convey the true immensity of the towers, my first view of the towers early in the morning had several of the towers disappearing into the cloud deck and the tops poking out the top of the clouds, just didn’t video well unfortunately.
The pentagram shape is I think the engineering outcome of the short capacitive hat antenna design, I say short as the antenna is small compared to the wavelength that determines the physical dimensions of an efficient antenna at 19.8kHz. I don’t think the antenna is used for reception (others may advise otherwise); it is a reliable and independent means of communicating with naval ships and more importantly submerged submarines. See the movie Crimson Tide as an example of when this type communication base transmits commands to the submerged nuclear missile submarine - Alabama.
I’m far from convinced that the United States government or anyone else has the technology to intentionally alter the weather, particular when you realize that this site get hit by cyclones all the time.
wank wank mate i live in exmouth i work around the towers and under ground yes under ground fuck head now take ur fucking stupid video down
I've seen it as a kid and it still creeps me out. The sheer size of them is crazy and trips me out. I remember seeing that one little wooden room in the middle and thinking that has to be an elevator down below where they are experimenting on aliens or growing more politicians in a lab. But on the serious side of things there is no way that place is solely used for good and we do not know what they are doing.
I just visited it
Good job!
I knew a guy stationed here. RM1 Scott Shomgard USNR.
pretty classified stuff going there, anyone seen strange things?
I was up there again in July and there was exhaust coming from the power plant; they were about to or were transmitting...........
@@petermiles6557 It's been in the news lately, and the whole Biden-Australia nuclear submarine thing, they want the presence in the Indian and Pacific to counter China I believe. Also new UFO documentary was talking about this base last week!
@@gerat4182 So much going on these days, it's hard to keep up with it. Nuclear submarines are big in the news here although I hadn't heard about the connection with UFOs. There are a lot of guys that have worked at the site often leave comments, which i always love reading and maybe they may wish to comment on strange sightings at the base.
The metatrons cube, there's extensive archeological evidence from discovered thoth emerald tablets that say its has to do with 0 point energy and apparently there has been documented alien activity in that area... Research the metatron cube... My research from weird hexagon to a recent ufo sighting in that area to the metatron cube...i dont think this is a coincidence
Ye some pretty strange deep stuff goin on here (i.e. Hexagram):

Great video thank you for posting it have a nice day keep up the great work. : ) It's such a big set of towers must get good reception. Compared to the space satellite dish the radio antenna are huge makes you think and 13 towers and it's shaped like a pentagram star shape you would be led to think that these towers are used as part of that radio tower weather manipulation like America keeps using . I have no prof butt lick bill just my suspicions thanks again have a nice day .

Mate, I have drone video on a sunny day if you want it
Hey Gary
Yes; would love a copy of your drone video. When were you there?
So many hours copying the PSBA and PSBJ on this station. I miss it.
Glad this bought back such great memories and I have to ask what are PSBAs and PSBJ?
Pacific Submarine Broadcast Alfa and Juliet.
Ok this music was unnecessary
Not if you understand the deeper layers of meaning behind it (Hexagram):

This is like sacred geometry which is cool, also 12 around the 1, like the disciples around Christ, wild.
Yes, but being the star of David, it's most notably adopted by those that crucified Jesus Christ, and now reject the New Testament.
I thought this place was top secret
don't say anything..............
There is a public road that runs next to one of the towers and the guy wires crossover the road.
