I don't normally get excited by antennas but motoring up to this array as
the turn around point of our trip gave me the feeling you get when you look
at one of the biggest and most impressive of anything. 26 1000 foot tall
towers all interconnected with the most fantastic web of wires and bed
spring like arrangements you can imagine. It transmits at 25 Mhz to tell
our nuke subs which cities to vaporize. If there is a war, presumably a
nuke will go off just above it within one or two milliseconds of the ones
that go off over Washington DC. Strange to think that this wild and remote
spot is Ground 0.1.

How did you like Roque Island? We could see the antennas at Cutler
form there 3 years ago but did not go as close as you did.
