"Doesn't the US Navy have a 1megawatt permanent broadcast facility at Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt near Exmouth? and wasn't that implicated in Quantas 72 and possibly 71ADIRU problems?
So, if the USA already has a permanent base, the precedent has been set, so why not another?"
That one, then you have Pine Gap, not sure what presence they have at Woomera.
