Monticello Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 3650 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…
Monticello FAA Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 6491 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.
