Cambridge Bay LORAN Tower, Navigation tower in Cambridge Bay, Canada.
The 189-meter tall lattice structure stood as a four-sided construction with a base measuring 18 meters on each side near Cambridge Bay.
Built in 1947 for LORAN transmissions, this tower remained the highest freestanding structure in Canada until the development of the Distant Early Warning Line.
The tower served as a vital reference point for local Inuit hunters and travelers, helping them locate Cambridge Bay from considerable distances.
The structure transmitted non-directional beacon signals on 245 kHz with 2000 watts output power under the identification code CB for navigation purposes.
The elements that appeared to be supporting guy-wires actually functioned as top loading components, forming an integral part of the antenna system.
