Santa Rosa Microwave Station
The AT&T Santa Rosa microwave station is located with a cluster of radio sites on a low mesa almost 20 miles from its namesake town. It is immediately next to Colonias Qwest Microwave Station. This same hilltop is also known as Moon Ranch, found on state and PNM radio licenses.

This station has several interesting aspects, including the presence of a parabolic reflector antenna with ice shield low down on the tower that looks quite old. It is also colocated with other radio sites that need some research, as they appear to be from the '80s at the earliest.
