A second contract was awarded to Sylvania to install AN/FLR-9 systems at [[Misawa AB]], Japan; [[Clark AB]], Philippine Islands; Pakistan (never built); [[Elmendorf AFB]], Alaska; and Karamürsel AS, Turkey. The last two were completed in 1966. The Karamürsel AS was closed and array was dismantled in 1977 in retribution for the suspension of U.S. military aid to Turkey. The Clark AB array was decommissioned after the Mt. Pinatubo volcano eruption in 1991. It was later converted into an outdoor amphitheater which is part of the [[Nayong Pilipino Clark]] theme park. Demolition of the Misawa FLR-9 began in October 2014.
A pair of FRD-10s not equipped for HF/DF were installed in 1969 at NAVRADSTA(R) Sugar Grove, WV ({{coord|38.5129|N|79.2790|W|scale:5000}}), for naval HF communications, replacing the NSS receiver site at the Naval Communications Station in Cheltenham, Maryland.
