In the early 1970s, on flights in/out of Kwajalein, then busy with Sprint anti-ballistic missile trials, using large radar arrays perfectly capable of tracking launches from the US West Coast, I used to be tickled that there was no ATC radar and that all approaches were procedural using ADF/VOR/TACAN - I forget which.
