Obsolete secret infrastructure like CARTWHEEL tower, only revealed decades later, intrigues me not just for its scale and design, but also for the obvious question it gives rise to. If this stuff effectively managed to stay unnoticed for decades, what newer secrets are hiding under our noses today?
@mattblaze@federate.social Just curious, how much do you know about the FAA use of CORKSCREW nowadays?
@fuzzface@epsilon-ix.masto.host I’m not sure what exactly the do with them. They own both CORKSCREW and CARTWHEEL, and maintain both in good condition (with activity). They also erected an HF antenna next to CORKSCREW.
@mattblaze@federate.social Just curious. Everything I know about the two is open source, but I think I’m still supposed to keep my mouth shut about them.
@mattblaze@federate.social What’s really annoying is when you work on a secret project that has gotten exposed to the public, I STILL CAN’T TALK ABOUT IT. I got to do some interesting things back when I was doing consulting, but still have to put the cover story on my resume.
