  1. L-3I Repeater L1E (Beeline distance: 77121 m) L-3I Repeater L1E This L-3I repeater, east of Socorro, is pretty much the same as all the others. Since the door was open to take photos, though, it serves as a good example. Built Early 1960s Fate Abandoned Routes Destination Direction
  2. Socorro L-3I Underground (Beeline distance: 82301 m) Socorro L-3I Underground Socorro, or Socorro #2, was a switching main station for the transcontinental L-3I station. It's a relatively large station for the system, as it housed an AUTOVON tandem and served (at least for a time) as an alternate regional NOC and synchronization clock source.
  3. Fort Craig FAA Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 106488 m) Fort Craig FAA Microwave Station This is a microwave relay built for the FAA, part of a chain up the Rio Grande valley. It is in a distinctive “H” tower style, intended to support a “periscope” configuration with the antennas on the roof of the building below and passive reflectors at the top of the tower. This setup is no longer installed, instead it has a couple of small parabolic antennas at the top.
  4. Monticello Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 136792 m) Monticello Microwave Station Monticello is an AT&T microwave station near Elephant Butte in central New Mexico. Like several microwave stations on this north-south route, Monticello has an “extended” tower with a tall lattice section above the original top deck. This is speculation, but I assume the extension was added to allow for later microwave antennas to be installed higher up, perhaps improving a previously unreliable connection. Monticello appears to be of later vintage for these station…
  5. Monticello FAA Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 140323 m) Monticello FAA Microwave Station Like Fort Craig FAA Microwave Station, Monticello has an “H” tower built for “periscope” antennas---the actual antenna was near ground level for easier service and shorter waveguides, with passive reflectors on the crossbar at the top of the tower to redirect the beam in a horizontal direction. This station was built for an FAA relay path up and down the Rio Grande corridor. It is still in use.
  6. Santa Rosa Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 151874 m) 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.
  7. Colonias Qwest Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 151923 m) Colonias Qwest Microwave Station Colonias is a former Qwest (formerly US West, later CenturyLink) microwave repeater on a low mesa northwest of Santa Rosa, immediately next door to Santa Rosa Microwave Station AT&T station. This same hilltop is also known as Moon Ranch, found on state and PNM radio licenses. I believe I have identified the site and licenses correctly for the photographed site, based on some circumstantial connections made to names and phone numbers on paperwork in the abandoned…
  8. L-3I Repeater L12E (Beeline distance: 152181 m) L-3I Repeater L12E L-3I repeater hut located east of Tucumcari just off highway 54. Built Early 1960s Builder Repeater Fate Abandoned Routes Destination Direction Carrier Tucumcari L-3I Underground East L-3I Vaughn L-3I West L-3I Construction This is a standard L-3I repeater in good condition, considering its long abandonment. This segment has not been reused for fiber.
  9. Las Vegas NM Central Office (Beeline distance: 191425 m) Las Vegas NM Central Office The central office in Las Vegas, NM is clearly visible from key local landmark Charlie's Spic-and-Span. It has a microwave tower for inbound connectivity and remains a nice example of a midsize CO building. Built ???
  10. Wagon Mound J Repeater (Beeline distance: 259980 m) Wagon Mound J Repeater This is a J-carrier repeater directly by the railroad tracks and near I-25 in northwestern New Mexico. It is located immediately next to a set of operational semaphore signals on the railroad, so it's not unusual for it to make an appearance in the background of railfan photos. This repeater served an open-wire route between Denver and Albuquerque then, ultimately, El Paso.
