USA (Aug. 15, 2012) CWO4 Robert Studyvin is pictured here in front of the transmitter building at Jim Creek Naval Radio Station. Jim Creek is a United States Navy facility in Oso, Washington. The primary mission of this radio site is to provide VLF radio transmitting capabilities for the Pacific submarine fleet. Established in the 1950s, the 1.2 million watt transmitting system developed for the site remains 'state -of-the-art' in producing low frequency emissions world-wide. In fact it is one of the most powerful transmitters in the world. Located near Arlington, Washington, in the foothills of the Cascades, north of Seattle, the site has 5,000 largely forested acres.
