I followed this link to this site called “SurvivalRealty.com<\/a>” and saw this article about what looks to be a former ATT microwave relay site in Utah turned into a residence. \u00a0The site is much smaller than the former ATT site in Kingston that I profiled in this post<\/a>. \u00a0 Still, that is a Western Electric tower and those are KS-15676 antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were that guy, I’d take those antennas down a scrap them. \u00a0Looks like the waveguides are already gone. \u00a0I might have tried to put some windows in while I was renovating it. \u00a0It would drive me crazy to live in a house without any windows. \u00a0I guess if one were waiting for the big one, windows might not be a desired feature of a survival bunker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn’t really call it a “communications bunker” though.  I’ve been in communications bunkers, they are mostly underground and are much more robust than that building.  Still, it is built better than an ordinary commercial building or a regular house.   It would take a special person to live out in the middle of nowhere like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
