Cambridge Bay LORAN Tower was a Шаблон:Convert tall free-standing lattice tower at Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canada. It was built in 1947/48 for LORAN transmissions and was the tallest freestanding structure in Canada for several years. Later the tower was used as a non-directional beacon (NDB) and was often called the "CB" beacon after the morse code letters that it transmitted on 245 kHz, with an output power of 2000 watts.[1] What appeared to be guy-wires on the tower were "top loading" forming part of the antenna. The tower was four sided and the base Шаблон:Convert per side or Шаблон:Convert.

The tower, built in 1947, became redundant with the construction of the Distant Early Warning Line in the 1950s.[2][3]

In 2013, the tower was determined to be structurally unsound and scheduled for demolition, to be replaced by a Шаблон:Convert tower. The removal, which was supposed to have been completed in October 2013, didn't begin until the evening of 4 August 2014 and was completed on 5 August 2014.[4][5][6]
