If anyone would like, I could get addition pictures of the dish, and surroundings.
I wonder if the missile silo is still there? I read an account on a UE site of two kids who explored one in New Mexico. This country is full of disused Cold War nuclear bunkers and underground command centres, I guess good old Blighty would have been first in the line of fire if the Soviets had ever decided to get bolshy lol...
The only one I know of with so much restored equipment.
I used to hang out on a nike base in PA that had been used as a similar microwave earth station in the 1970s. They were still doing research in the 1980s there.There was lots of old abandoned equipment from previous projects. We took a number of tube amplifiers and made awesome guitar and PA amps out of them. I still have 2 of them. Weapons of the cold war truned into well used tools of joyfull expresion.
its really an amazing place
le sigh
And various other unmentionable things.
This was always one of my favourite panoramas actually.
