That has been listed for a while, and it wasn't there when I did a
trip to RBC last year. Of course, I could have missed it since I was
watching the road. I heard later a well head was out there, which I
never saw.
I was recently at the Warm Springs repeater site and there is a much
new construction up there. Joe Fallini's TV shack is now used for
cellular (CDMA I guess, or analog, i.e. I couldn't use it on GSM). Two
new equipment shelters were being wired up. The crew came from Vegas
and were none to pleased to be working in the middle of nowhere. A J-
pole mounted horizontally was set up near the DOE gear pointing
towards basecamp. The camera that watches the military "thing" at the
repeater site was moved further back, perhaps to keep it from being
stolen. [The base may have seen the photo I took of it where you could
read the writing on the lens frame.] A weather station is installed,
with some sort of logging box. There are new towers as well.
We camped out there for yucks and the meter reader spotted us. She
wanted ot know what organization we were from, to which of course I
replied none. I supposed I should have used the Groom Lake Audubon
Society.
That hill near Queen City Summit where they cut a road to the top of
the hill is still bare. I saw no evidence of anything happening at
Tempiute either, which is supposedly to be a new transmitter site.
