A few years ago, I was stationed at Travis AFB, CA near Sacramento. One
day, I was taking a ride through the countryside when I came across a huge -
I mean huge antenna farm. It had all kinds of very tall towers, shorter
towers and curtain arrays. It was a ham's fantasy come true!
I remember it was a Navy installation, but it didn't seem to be active
anymore. In fact, from what I recall, the base housing looked like it had
been converted into county government housing for poor immigrant workers.
This installation was about 10-20 miles north of Vacaville.
Does anyone know what this base was used for, and is it still used by remote
control?
Maybe someone on Tower Talk was actually stationed there?
