Wells said the radar unit here has an initial cost of about 000 for the equipment alone, with installation costs bringing the total to approximately! a quarter'of a million dollars. An- nual cost for the station will be $80,000. He said the radar is of a standard long range weather effective maximum range of 250 miles and an opti- mum range'of half that dis- tance.
