Here is a link to a bunch of old scanned AT&T microwave route paper maps I found somewhere. There is also a Western Union microwave map in there as well.
These are nice to see where there is already some nice engineered 6 GHz backhaul paths if the towers still exist. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c2x5wik41o3d5we/AAByxX8cAyhU3Y7UhG_kVQJda?dl=0 Thank You, Brian Webster www.wirelessmapping.com www.Broadband-Mapping.com From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Mathew Howard Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2016 11:42 AM To: af Subject: Re: [AFMUG] AT&T Long Lines There has got to be a good use for a missile base...

The ones closer to major metro areas have more tenants and more value to their new owners. The Long Lines sites that were built solely as a means to get a PTP relay over a major mountain range are amazing. Built with massive diesel tanks and ventilation intakes 18' off the ground due to snow pack. These ones have the original horn antennas and not much else, maybe some VHF/UHF omni radio repeaters for forestry/national parks.

It was also one of the ground sites for the Air Force 1 secure communications network, I don’t know if that’s still operational, I think maybe it is. Last I heard DeKalb, IL is still an active fiber POP. Tower is not used, but they won’t least space or sell it. It’s right in town and not a very well kept secret.
