A Traffic Control and Landing System (TRACALS) Communications Station Evaluation was performed at Mather AFB, California (2034 Comm Sq) from 20-28 September 1978. The purpose of the evaluation was to define the capabilities and limitations of the communications system servicing the ground controlled approach (GCA) and control tower. This report can be used as a guide for anticipated performance of the air traffic control communications at Mather AFB until there is a deletion, addition, relocation of equipment, or a change in horizon profile which would affect the system.
