Hi Mike,
Thank you so much. Those pictures are so great. I remember the inside
of the building with all those "studios". Thanks for showing them. I
love that Signal School podium too. I spent a summer at Ft Monmouth in
a class with 16 officers learning all about the REL-2600 tropo system.
All my instructors were civilians as I recall. It was a great experience.

Dave,
I took some photos as the shut down was under way in 2011. I wish I
had taken some sooner, even a week earlier. They're at:

cool
to me. I wonder if there are any pictures of the place online?
