BELIEVE IT OR NOT! A secret navy radio station hidden in an extinct volcano, used a pre-World War 1 A.C. motor-generator to send signals to submarines during World War 2 - while they remained underwater - as far away as Tokyo Bay.
THE 200,000 watt ALEXANDERSON ALTERNATOR.

The story of Haiku NRS and the "Stairway to Heaven" begins in the HIGH SCALERS OF HAIKU gallery. It shows Adams' and Otto's heroic scaling of the valley's south cliff in 1942. Their 21 day climb, made possible the installation of the Haiku Ladder, the ALTERNATOR and five unsupported antenna cables, over a mile in length, stretched across the valley at elevations exceeding 2,500 feet.

       Check out the NEW HAIKU OMEGA AID TO NAVIGATION STATION gallery. Amazing Omega equipment replaced the Alternators in the early 1970s.
View photos of the seven other Omega stations that coordinated their cesium clock controlled signals to produce the only world wide radio navigation system in existence from 1973 to1997 - Argentina, Australia, Japan, LaReunion, Liberia, North Dakota, Norway.
