Yeah....

". The wire was 350 metres long and averaged 1.2 metres high. I
finished putting it up and then went back to the cabin,

set up my receiver, tape-recorder etc then tuned into the 60mb..
hmmm... Latin signals everywhere. I tuned around for 20 minutes or so,
pleased with the number and strength of the signals...so around 0300 I
tuned into MW...

first frequency tried was 1580, signs of VOA in English, VOA 1580 was
from Antigua! "

Quite a place..

This is also pretty funny (another page from the same site):

It's about a guy who designed a "cannon" out of pipe, plastic coke
bottles, water and dry ice, and then used it to get wires over
treetops.

Well, I got unceremoniously frog-marched off the base the last time I tried
stretching a mere hundred meters of wire out. Unfriendly sorts at best. The
sheep at least tolerate your presence.

LOL, I don't doubt that. No Such Agency guards their real estate rather
well. When I was there I was an invited guest, keeping the world free
for democracy!
