Hi Jo, There's a precedent. This facility in Western North Carolina (http://www.pari.edu/) was a former spook shop. It was abandoned and handed over the the US Forest Service, dishes and all, for quite a few years. A group was put together to take it out of mothballs and make it useful for astronomy. I keep meaning to drive out there sometime when I'm visiting family. So if Hill AFB goes down, I'm sure Siegfried will convince them to hand it over to SLAS.

I know you all hoped I was kidding with the link I posted, but... it has concrete pads, secure storage, and power, plus a working outhouse. Anyone know anything about filing a new "Use Application" with the BLM? 25 miles SW of Delta, and we could branch out into ham radio :) It is on Ebay, and it is real. If you cannot follow the link, go to Ebay and punch in item number 4337701828.
