  1. Fort Craig FAA Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 93123 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.
  2. Monticello Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 96730 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…
  3. Monticello FAA Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 98317 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.
  4. Socorro L-3I Underground (Beeline distance: 102513 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.
  5. L-3I Repeater L1E (Beeline distance: 107855 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
  6. Glenwood WNM Office (Beeline distance: 111816 m) Glenwood WNM Office Western New Mexico Telephone Co, which today goes by WNM Communications, has a charming small rural exchange in Glenwood, NM. It's a good example of an exchange for a remote area, housing a Nortel DMS-10. The DMS-10 is popular in rural exchanges due to its small size, and WNM operates many DMS-10 offices in rural New Mexico.
