History
This site became an FAA radar site furnishing radar track data to the FAA and data tied to USAF Direction Centers. The initial ARSR-2 radar equipment remained in place until it was upgraded to a Common Air Route Surveillance Radar (CARSR) circa 2015.

By 1990 the site was equipped with an ARSR-2 search radar and a CD-2A Common Digitizer. The Oskaloosa CD-2A was scheduled to receive an upgrade kit to implement three level weather data processing on 31 Aug 1990.

CARSR Radar
At the time of the CARSR changeout, the legacy radar in place was an ARSR-2 and the CARSR conversion included a 7172 Antenna. The secondary radar for the site is the ATCBI-6 Beacon set.
