James Bamford writes in The Puzzle Palace (Penguin, 1982, paper):
The Naval Security Group Activity at Winter Harbor, Maine, for example, buried deep in Acadia National Park, sixty miles from Bangor, would likely serve as an excellent platform from which to intercept signals from COMSAT's Andover station, 125 miles to the west. (p. 224.)
