Steve and Byron:  So, the mystery gets bigger!  In the late 1980's I lived in Albuquerque. AND.... at the FAA route control center, yep, you guessed it. Almost over night a MONSTER LPDA appeared. Up about 90' or 100'; lattice tower boom, lotsa elements. My guess 3 to 30 mhz. BUT it was always pointed west. I know from someone who worked at the center that the 1 5/8" ++ hard line was buried in a trench and covered over with concrete. Hardening of the EMP kind supposedly. I could see that sucker from where I worked and always thought it was a waste. I could have put it to better use!!! HI! HI!

"Steve
Is there an FAA control center there?

When I lived in Colorado the Denver Center was located in Longmont, Co.  In 
about 1988 or 1989 they built a monster LP that looks like it might be the 
same size as the one in your picture.

It was always pointed east, and suspected it was pointed at Washington, D.C.
