Nice photos. I didn't realize that cars only came in two colors in the 1980's.

The Japan sites were interconnected with a couple of different troposcatter systems. The tropo antennas still stand at Fuchu and apparently connected to Misawa via a relay in Sendai however I've never found confirmation of the where the Sendai tropo relay was located.

Sobe is gone but there is still an apparently active CDAA on Okinawa at 26 29 23 N 127 55 23 W. I believe this is USMC Camp Hansen.
