Dear Hugh: What you're saying makes a lot of sense. From the pictures, the facility certainly does look abandoned, and having been such for a long time. And a missile silo certainly would need comm capability, or else how would they know when to launch/not launch? None of the AM (or FM) stations I ever worked for ever needed hardened blast doors, although some of the swill we were forced to play practically begged for nuking (Little River Band, anyone?). Now, more on-topic -- has any Spook here in Southern California heard any numbers stations lately emanating from Europe or the Slavic countries? -- Mary Villano -----Original Message----- From: Utility World (Hugh Stegman) <[email protected]> To: Shortwave Spy Numbers Stations <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Nov 1, 2010 2:21 pm Subject: Re: [Spooks] For All The Buzzer Fans Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list Hi Mary! I've seen a few stations like this myself, but they never had blast doors. :-) The pictures look to me like one of those nuke-hardened facilities deep underground or inside granite mountains, that both sides spent a lot of money on. The racks with the meters are definitely transmitters, and pretty big ones. It could be a missile silo, since they'd need comm capability. It might also be a command-control or continuity-of-government center, which would explain the office space, studio-type room, and phone interconnects. If it's like the facilities "we" built, there'd be blast-hardened antennas for fallback use by the transmitters on-site, and a lot of wiring and RF plumbing. I can't see this as a possible UVB-76 location, though. Too decrepit for a facility that is obviously still on-air at least part time. That transmitter is probably in a building like the one they show us from Google Earth, with the antenna farm in the woods. -hugh ______________________________________________________________ Spooks mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Spooks mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
