Giant Reciever Dish?
Re: Giant Reciever Dish?
AWSOME! Good job, I just wish I could have been there.
RE: Giant Reciever Dish?
Here's the Google Earth location... there's a fairly large circular blur that's white that I have pointed an arrow at... happens to be right near an accessible looking road. Is that where it was?

Na, that's not it. It's up farther I believe. I tried to find it myself but I can't make anything out. One of those 2 white dots might be it at the end of the road.
Re: Giant Reciever Dish?
Split, were you able to find out the name of the current owner of the building or the dish when u called the realty or was that confidentual?
Ok technically this should be in the thread with the pics from after your trip, but i got confused.

Na, I didn't ask for any names. I was afraid she'd ask me why I wanted to know and I didn't want to go into all that.

Re: Giant Reciever Dish?
Interesting. I wonder why they split the properties? And who owns the dish now?Action Reality wrote:The dish is not on the property

Re: Giant Reciever Dish?
I was thinking there was another thread on in the Arkansas forum about this place with pictures and some of the place's history.
Ahh, here it is.

RE: Giant Reciever Dish?
Ah, sorry then for the double post. Though, I do know a bit more about this whole issue. Turns out my father did work on this site while it was being built, and knew some of the people that worked there. In addition, manager of the site used to be a US Diplomat (retired), who lived in Hot Springs during 60/70's.
I always was curious about the place, but never went there given that it was supposed to have armed (machine gun carrying) guards to protect it when it was in operation.

Re: Giant Reciever Dish?
Nah it's cool, not like you started the thread or anything.
That's awesome that your dad worked out there! You need to go ask him about it and hook us up with some good stories of it.

Okay, I really want to check this place out if anyone is interested in heading down from Little Rock.
