		The DEW Line was the largest construction project ever undertaken in the Arctic and one of the most difficult construction projects of any kind, ever.
		On July 31, 1957, responsibility for the DEW Line passed to the Air Force, and, by the end of that year, the first phase of stations was virtually complete.
		The military role of the DEW Line was to detect the approach of Soviet bombers from the north in an actual attack.

	Distant Early Warning Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line or Early Warning Line, was a system of radar stations in the far northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the North Coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska, in addition to Greenland and Iceland.
		The DEW Line was the northernmost and most capable of three radar lines in Canada; the joint Canada/US Pinetree Line ran from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, and the Mid-Canada Line ran somewhat north of this.
		The majority of Canadian DEW Line stations were the responsibility of the Royal Canadian Air Force (Canadian Armed Forces after 1968) although some manned facilities were jointly staffed with the U.S. Air Force.

		A dew warning, also known as a dew alarm or dew signal, is an error indication on VCR's and camcorders if the VCR/camcorder develops dew inside the unit from being exposed to extreme temperature and/or humidity changes.
		The presence of moisture between the tape and the rotating head drum increases friction which prevents correct operation and can cause damage to both the recording device and the tape.
		Usually, a "DEW" indicator or error code lights up on the display of most VCR's/camcorders, and on some, a buzzer may sound.

		Such extensive co-operation between Canada and the US to solve the common problem of N American air defence was an important first step in the creation of the bilateral North American Air Defence Command (NORAD) in 1958, which integrated all Canadian air-defence radars and fighter forces.
		The development of the Cruise missile, a low-flying weapon that could avoid detection by the DEW and Pinetree lines, reawakened interest in arctic air defence in the early 1980s.
		Additional detection capabilities would be provided by radar warning and control aircraft (AWACS), and long-range over-the-horizon radars on the eastern and western perimeters of N America.

	USAF Gap Fillers, Labrador/Newfoundland - National Archives of anada
		The line of prime radars extending from Frobisher to Redcliff were constructed as an extension of the DEW Line to provide early warning of an impending attack from the Northeast on the populated and industrial areas in Northeastern Canada and the United States.
		When DEW East and the G-I-UK barrier become operational the initial early warning function for which the gap filler radars were installed will be provided.
		DEW East and the G-I-UK barrier, becoming operational in July 1961 is such that the limited additional coverage provided by the prime radars at Frobisher, Resolution Island and Redcliff and the six gap filler radars in the Goose Sector does not warrant the high cost of operation.

		At first the DEW Line was officially dry, but the company soon realized that Prohibition in the Arctic would be as unrealistic and unenforceable as it had proved in the lower 48 and allowed each man a weekly ration of one six-pack of beer.
		Even with warning from the DEW Line, enough Russian bombers would get through to cause “total economic collapse,” the government would likely be “wiped out,” casualties would be enormous, most of the population would need medical care, and virtually none would get it.
		A darker legacy of the DEW Line that surfaced after the handover to Canadian custody was the question of what would be done with the abandoned stations, where almost 40 years of buried waste, PCBs, and other toxic chemicals were leaching into the Arctic environment.

		The impact of recent legislation and government-sponsored reviews - the Higgs Review in the UK, and the Sarbanes-Oxley act in the US - coupled with the continued uncertain economic climate, has created an environment where the personal risks incurred by directors in discharging their duties are now higher than ever before.
		The Directors' Early Warning Service is a new professional service aimed at helping directors to reduce the risk of failing to detect significant past, present or future financial problems within company subsidiaries.
		In a recessionary climate this brings forward the date at which necessary but unpalatable actions are implemented, while at times of expansion the technique helps the board to reach a rapid consensus on the need for early investment.

		The DEW Line was of course an integrated chain of some 63 radar and communication stations, stretching 3,000 miles across Arctic Canada at approximately the 69th parallel, from Alaska to the eastern shore of Baffin Island.
		Built at the height of the Cold War, with its threat of nuclear annihilation, the system was designed to provide advance warning of imminent air attack to Canada and the United States.
		The DEW Line became a perfect metaphor for McLuhan on the role of art and the artist at a time of rapid social and technological change and he repeated the idea frequently.

		Camcorders have dew sensors because moisture condensing on the spinning tape drum could cause damage to the tape and/or the tape transport mechanism.
		A persistent dew warning could be several things...a bad dew sensor, a really dirty tape path, or bad tensioning of the tape.

		Fluttar radars were deployed on the DEW line for approximately five years.
