At Mail Call, Jim Sanders was heard saying to Derek Wakefield

Jim...
     Hmm...makes me wonder when it WAS active. It was not part of the
US Army's ARADCOM Nike Ring of Steel system. The four Nike batteries
for the D/FW complex were based at Denton (N of D/FW), Mineral Wells
(W of FW), Alvarado (S of FW), and Terrell (E of D). That much I DO
know (from research I conducted last year).
     Thanks for the feedback!
