Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Canadian Forces Station (Leitrim, Ont.) : The station originated from No. 1 Special Wireless Station at Leitrim, Ontario established in 1942 during the Second World War. On 17 July 1947 the Ottawa Wireless Station was reestablished, with an initial compliment of two officers and ninety-four other ranks. The station was redesignated as Canadian Forces Station Leitrim on 19 July 1966 as a component of Canadian Forces Supplementary Radio System (CFSRS). At that time it was mandated to collect data in support of research into basic problems of long distance communication techniques and equipment and to participate in research problems of radio transmission and reception. On 1 March 1970 a Field Support Section Headquarters, CFSRS and Alert Support Detachment of CFS Alert were transferred to CFS Leitrim. CFS Leitrim and CFS Alert began SINPO reporting (signal strength, interference, noise, fading and readability) on 1 December 1970, to inform the United States Ground Weather Control service. In 1975 CFS Leitrim became a lodger unit of and was supported by CFB Ottawa. In the 1990s CFS Leitrim had five main sections: operations, technical services, logistics, administration and training, with a total strength of 391 in 1991. As well, E1D, a unit of the Communication Security Establishment was operated from the station. CFS Leitrim continued to its evolving mandate to engage in signals intelligence collection and geolocation in support of the Canadian Cryptological Progam, provide high frequency direction finding support to search and rescue operations, and provide support and logistical support to units of the Supplementary Radio System. On 1 September 1994 CFS Leitrim assumed responsibility for the Cryptologic Direct Support Element. RG 24 General Inventory
