History
This site became an FAA radar site in the 1960s, furnishing radar track data to the FAA ARTCCs and to USAF Direction Centers. The initial FAA ARSR-1 search radar was upgraded to an ARSR-1E configuration and remained in operation until it was modified to become a CARSR radar with a 7172 Antenna.

By 1990 the site was equipped with an ARSR-1E search radar and a CD-2A Common Digitizer. The Brecksville CD-2A was scheduled to receive an upgrade kit to implement three level weather data processing in September 1992.

CARSR Radar
The secondary radar at this site is an ATCBI-6 Beacon set.
