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&amp;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…</description>

        <description>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.</description>

        <description>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.</description>

        <description>Monticello Microwave Station

Monticello is an AT&amp;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…</description>

Mud Lake is an AT&amp;T microwave station in Idaho.
 Built       Builder     AT&amp;T  Fate      American Tower #89413, abandoned 
The Long Lines Site Map on Google Map Maker has this listed as “Mud City” (and also with the wrong call sign), but the license and tower parts both give the name Mud Lake. Despite its neighbors being KYC28 and KYC30, KYC29 doesn&#039;t appear in FCC ULS, so I&#039;m not sure if that callsign was ever real.</description>

This is a hardened above-ground site. The tower is not of the AT&amp;T modular type, perhaps because of it&#039;s unusually tall height. It&#039;s more of a typical self-supporting lattice tower, with waveguides originally mounted on the sides rather than corners.…</description>
