MONITORING STATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The land was sold off by GAO to developers. What you
are confused about are the satellite systems run by other
agencies. It is explained very clearly on the FCC web page.
And when are you going to FINALLY upgrade from that
no code tech license you have?


Dwight -- why do we waste time on these ignoramuses?

For the record - yesterday I had a good conversation with a former
colleague of mine who is one of the folks at Columbia/Laurel.

The remote-controlled HF monitoring system is up and running and used
on a daily basis for investigation of complaints, controlled from
there or from Washington as need be. As has been the case for many
decades, the vast majority of those are non-amateur service related.

Some of the property around each site (mostly the old rhombic
fields) has been sold for uses that will not interfere with the
accuracy of the newer log-periodic DF systems, but enough of each
site is left to do the job properly. There is no need for the old
buildings, many of which date to the WW-II era, and they have been
dismantled.

Enough of this crap.
