 (1968-Active) - A FAA Radar Site first established in 1968 near Hanna City, Peoria County, Illinois. Initially assigned a SAGE ID of Z-85 and a FAA ID of QUZ. Active FAA Long Range Radar (LRR) Site.

History
This site became an FAA radar site in 1968 after the Hanna City Air Force Station closed. The FAA requested on 31 Oct 1968 that 1.03 acres of the closed reservation, including the search radar tower and four buildings, be transferred to them for use as a FAA radar site (FAA Location Code QUZ).

The site then furnishing radar track data to the FAA and to USAF Direction Centers. The FAA retained the Air Force FPS-67B search Radar and the remaining FPS-90 height-finder. The initial FPS-67B remained in operation until it was modified to become a Common Air Route Surveillance Radar (CARSR) by 2015. The FPS-90 height-finder probably remained in place until 1988.

By 1990 the site was equipped with an FPS-67B search radar and a CD-2A Common Digitizer. The Hanna City CD-2A was scheduled to receive an upgrade kit to implement three level weather data processing on 17 Aug 1990.

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