Most of my FAA career was in Alaskan Region's Airway Facilities Division, the organization that, at the time, established and maintained the NAS. I spent a year and a half of that in the Juneau Sector Field Office (1983-1984), the unit that maintained navaids from Hinchinbrook to Annette Islands. I can recall that when the SSR VORTAC went out of service, it was "all hands on deck" to get it restored.
