Angie here's a little wiki blurb about where I was stationed:
Cape Lisburne Air Force Station (AAC ID: F-07, LRR ID: A-19, DEW ID: LIZ-1) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station. It is located 276.5 miles (445.0 km) west-southwest of Point Barrow, Alaska.
The radar surveillance station was closed on 1 November 1983, and was re-designated as a Long Range Radar (LRR) site as part of the Alaska Radar System. Today, it remains active as part of the Alaska NORAD Region under the jurisdiction of the 611th Air Support Group, Elmendorf AFB, Alaska.
The site designation when I was there Dec "65" > Nov. "66" was the 711th AC&W Sqdn.. The site was a split site with the radar and maint. troops up on the mountain (top Camp) and operations and support at bottom camp. Spent about 11½ months up there, First assignmnt out of tech school.
