Additional Details:
The Etam earth station, which is located about 200 miles west of Washington. DC, is the largest on the east coast. It has three dish shaped antennas. The third antenna went into operation in mid 1981. Etam, through satellites stationed over the Atlantic Ocean, processes a larger volume of communication than any other earth station in the world.
