Back in 1995, I was in Kauai,and stopped by the transmitter in Kekaha.
The engineers were more than happy to give me a tour of the facility
and view the transmitters which are cooled by seawater as the site is
on the beach (and beautiful!!)
I never thought of it, but they mentioned that the electricity bill
cost a fortune.
I understand they no longer give tours of the facility.

I was out on Kaua'i a few months ago, and tried to drive into the station,
but was met by several menacing soldiers blocking the way. I turned around
and left.

They're right next to the Barking Sands Missile Range, so security is VERY
tight these days...
