The communications tower that stands where the NHK Nazaki, Japan Shortwave transmitter site had once stood:
An article about the long-distance telephone service from the United States to Japan by the way of CBS Shortwave station W2XE, the shortwave relay of WCAU-AM, W3XAU; CBS Mediumwave stations WBBM-AM and CBS Radio-affiliated stations in Salt Late City and in Denver, KCBS-AM in San Francisco; the NBC Shortwave transmitter site in Dixon, California; the AT&T Shortwave relay station in Point Reyes, California; the NHK Shortwave transmitter site in Nazaki would then relay the signal from Point Reyes consisting of the conversation between the caller in the United States and the caller in Japan (therefore, it would be simple for one to eavesdrop on the conversation of the persons of concern if his Shortwave radio is tuned to the frequency that both the transmitters at both Point Reyes and Nazaki are operating on); and the local telephone company in Imperial Japan would relay the signal from Point Reyes and Nazaki locally over the telephone lines in the area before it reaches the phone line of the person’s home or business in Japan.
Since more recent times, the NHK Nazaki shortwave transmitter site has been utilized for the Japan Meterological Society Radio FAX Transmissions, and the transmissions for the organization titled VOLMET.
In the early 2010s, Toyota/Hino had constructed a new assembly plant for their Medium & Heavy-Duty Trucks and Buses on much of the property where the NHK Nazaki Shortwave transmitter site had once stood.
