  1. Greenland J Repeater (Beeline distance: 24642 m) Greenland J Repeater This is a J-carrier repeater building just off the freeway near Larkspur, CO. It's part of a J-carrier route between Denver and Albuquerque, and its siting makes it rather picturesque. Built ??? Builder AT&T Routes
  2. Cheyenne Mountain Complex (Beeline distance: 31534 m) Cheyenne Mountain Complex The Cheyenne Mountain Complex (CMC) was built in the early 1960s by the Army Corps of Engineers, Utah Construction and Mining Company, and Burroughs among other contracts. Besides serving as the secret location of the Stargate, the CMC was an alternate command center of the Northern Air Defense Command (NORAD), the Space Defense Center, the National Civil Defense Warning Center, Ballistic Missile Defense Center, and other Strategic Air Command-related functions startin…
  3. Corral Bluffs GWEN Site (Beeline distance: 39689 m) Corral Bluffs GWEN Site Corral Bluff is a communications site built specifically to deliver hardened communications between the Cheyenne Mountain Complex and other nearby military sites. It seems to have hosted both a gwen node and AT&T hardened microwave equipment. Corral Bluffs was built in 1994, or at least that is the year that AT&T installed microwave equipment. It is not clear to me if AT&T built the entire site, but I think it's far more likely the site was built by Contel (the general …
  4. Colorado Fountain Mystery Repeater (Beeline distance: 57134 m) Colorado Fountain Mystery Repeater In Colorado, along the I-25 corridor south of Denver, there are several buildings that appear (based on various evidence, sometimes only circumstantial) to be telephone cable repeaters. It's hard to sort out their history, as several different long-distance lines have passed through this area over the years, including a transcontinental cable route that I know little about but might be related to this station. This is very much unfinished research and it's a d…

  6. Boone L-1 Underground (Beeline distance: 96112 m) Boone L-1 Underground Boone is an underground power feed station for the L-1 cable leg from Lamar, CO to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. It seems to have been built purely for this purpose, as the cable leg connecting CMC to the L-3I transcontinental is too long to be powered just from the ends. The station is still in use for the fiber route overlaid on the L-1 cable ROW.
  7. Transcontinental L-3I System (Beeline distance: 103125 m) Transcontinental L-3I System During the early 1960s, AT&T built a high-capacity transcontinental cable hardened against nuclear attack. The L-3I transcontinental cable served both to add reliable capacity to AT&T's commercial network, and to provide a hardened backbone for the rapidly growing AUTOVON military telephone system.
  8. Monarch Pass Microwave Station (Beeline distance: 127516 m) Monarch Pass Microwave Station AT&T microwave station near Monarch, CO.

  9. Lascar J Repeater (Beeline distance: 133756 m) Lascar J Repeater This is a J-carrier repeater immediately adjacent to I-25, on an open-wire route between Denver and Albuquerque. It has been reused as an art gallery, somewhat surprising since it is quite remote from any towns. I don't know much about this route, but the next repeater north is probably Greenland.
