History
This site became an FAA radar site in 1963, furnishing radar track data to the FAA ARTCC's and to USAF Direction Centers. The initial FAA ARSR-2 search radar remained in operation until it was modified to become a Common Air Route Surveillance Radar (CARSR).

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