Obsolete secret infrastructure like CARTWHEEL tower, only revealed decades later, intrigues me not just for its scale and design, but also for the obvious question it gives rise to. If this stuff effectively managed to stay unnoticed for decades, what newer secrets are hiding under our noses today?
@[email protected] Just curious, how much do you know about the FAA use of CORKSCREW nowadays?
@[email protected] I'm not sure what exactly the do with them. They own both CORKSCREW and CARTWHEEL, and maintain both in good condition (with activity). They also erected an HF antenna next to CORKSCREW.
@[email protected] Just curious. Everything I know about the two is open source, but I think I’m still supposed to keep my mouth shut about them.
