Much of the site is devoted to the enormous overhead wire antenna array that is necessary to efficiently radiate the VLF waves. The antenna, shown above, consists of ten catenary cables, 5,640–8,700 ft (1,719–2,652 m, 1.1–1.6 miles) long, suspended in a zigzag pattern over the valley between Wheeler mountain and Blue mountain on twelve 200 ft. towers on the mountains' crests.

The current Cutler Naval Station was built during 1960 and became operational on January 4, 1961. It has a transmission power of 2 megawatts. As with all VLF stations, the transmitter has a very small bandwidth, and so cannot transmit audio (speech) but only coded text messages, at a relatively low data rate.
In 1997, Einstein, who by then owned all three Annapolis-based radio stations (WNAV, WYRE and WXZL) decided to retire. He sold off the other two stations but kept WNAV. [ 12 ] In 1999, Einstein sold WNAV to Wheel of Fortune host and Anne Arundel County resident Pat Sajak for $2.2 million.
The station's current antenna was built in 1972; it consists of two guyed masts, each 458.11 metres (1503 feet) tall, which are configured as umbrella antennas. They are fed by an overhead cable, fixed to a tall mast at one end, and at the opposite end to a smaller grounded mast near the helix building via an insulator.
