North Beach High-Frequency Radar (HFR1)

One of the first HF Radar sites installed by SERF is located at Catamaran park at North Beach on the West side of Corpus Christi Bay. This is a 25-MHz unit and is used primarily to provide cover for Corpus Christi Bay, but is also capable of being moved for remote rapid deployment. The HF Radar equipment is housed in an air-conditioned wells cargo trailer. The site receives its power from the local power grid, and access to the site for data transfer and control can be accomplished via a VPN link through a cable modem. This site also acts as a gateway for a wireless Ethernet link to the University Beach site.
