JOSADA (McKay) — source notes

The McKay dossier presents the sites, selected photographs and routes. Company connections.

HF installation and receiver

  • Kanozan photographs: the 25 January 2026 assembly picture in AVANT 1 (English) lacks the second element from the front; the completed HFT540C has five elements. The mounted-antenna filename 20280208yagi-southwest.jpg contains a year typo: the visit was 8 February 2026 (English). The dossier puts these pictures alongside the hut's construction interval.
  • Nuda feed inspection: the A/B wiring shown in the dossier comes from the 21 September 2025 visit (English). Later comparison tables repeat the two-wire layout without a new feed inspection or an identified backhaul path.

Microwave connections

The westbound route combines Ryota's corrected November 2024 diagram (English) with field observations: JOSADA and Fujitsu labels at Ashitaka (English), and upper-platform dishes on the newer southeastern NTT Docomo tower at Tsukude (English).

The 2025 Oyama visit (English) names CC1 to the east and Ashitaka to the west. It also shows apparent Starlink equipment whose role is unknown.

The MIC analysis gives the complementary channels and power used to pair the western licences.

NTT Funaho location: 1-14 Uchino, Inzai, Chiba (address listing, exchange directory). Mapion places it at 35.79413475, 140.12679409. The tower is on the exchange roof. Ryota's 35.7910278, 140.1208709 link is his photography position in the park, not the exchange.

Abe and Ise Shima location evidence

  • NTT West Ise Shima: 5-1 Ichishicho, Ise, Mie 516-0075, supplied by Alex and confirmed in NTT West's building list. Yahoo/Zenrin locates it at 34.49015175, 136.70309508; Mapion also identifies the building. This is the Ise city office, separate from the Shima cable landing stations.
  • NTT Abe: OpenStreetMap node 1852389021 identifies NTT 安倍無線中継局 at 35.065998, 138.2874892, on Shizuoka's Ōyama. NTT West's Shizuoka tower inventory lists Abe. It is distinct from the nearby municipal Ōyama station and from Oyama in Kanagawa.
