At first I thought it was odd that this installation couldn't be re-used for some other non-military communications function, but then I guess in spite of it's hi-tech appearance it's probably as antiquated as an Apollo rocket would be today.

Here in the UK old structures like this from the early years of the communications age are being listed (protected by law) and renovated.

My dad worked at a installation like this. He worked in supply. It was a small base, like 300 peeps tops. He said that the Air force had all kinds of little "projects" that went on @ the base that he wanted no part of, cuz of the secrets involved. During my tenure in the Army, I wanted to know everything I could about secret stuff. An old vet told me the best advice. He said that the more you know the more disposable you become. How true
