I can't refer readers to any documents, but I recall seeing this play out in the San Francisco Chronicle; I was an engineering student at Berkeley (and chief...
Military traffic via microwave was pretty extensive in the San Francisco area starting in the early 1950s. Several large, military-owned microwave relay ...
Has anyone done any GPX files (GPS Exchange files) of AT&T sites? Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here! Be an organ donor,...
I can easily write a script to convert GPS coordinate data to a GPX file. The only list of data I have is the old ATC Business Bunker list. Looked at...

Yep, waypoints would be it I guess. I am not real familiar with what all can be on a GPX file. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down...

While we're on the subject of tower hunting, anybody know of decent freeware that does the following? Your setting on a back road with gps software on your...
First whack at the conversion of the data is done (it was a slow day today for a change). Folder GPS under files contains what I put together so far. Google...
Most GPS units allow you to create a waypoint from an existing waypoint and a bearing and distance from it. You can plug your vehicle location, then create a...
CW communications was used(and intercepted) extensively by us(US:) in the 1st half of the Cold War at least; researching further I found this fascinating...

Yes I love history and anything you can share about this facility would be great, I will post a few photos now of some equipment and the building itself. I...
Thanks for the links! I'll add them to my site. One place where I think Morse was used during the Cold War was for so-called "numbers" transmissions on HF...
