[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3685441, member: 27284"] If you get to Tucson, go south on I-19 for about 22 minutes or so to the town Sahuarita/Green Valley AZ and visit the Atlas Missile Silo Museum. It's way cool and awesome. Although I live in OKC, I hope to have a winter home in that area, I have visited it numerous times. I am a member of the Green Valley Amateur Radio Club (ham radio) and we are authorized to operate from there on their giant antenna, which still works just fine. In fact, any ham radio licensed operator is allowed to operate on Titan Missile antenna, just go in and sign the log first. You want to get a pileup going, it will. There are some great YouTube videos of this, just search for Titan Missile Museum. [URL='https://titanmissilemuseum.org/']Link to Titan Missile Museum[/URL] As a kid growing up in SW Oklahoma, pretty close to Altus AFB, I saw quite a few of the Atlas Missile Silos. I vividly remember seeing the missiles up and out of the silos, it's still sobering to realize each had a nuke onboard, and the guard had authority to shoot to kill anyone approaching who was not authorized. They're all decommissioned now, of course, but if you want to you can take a day trip and drive up to most of them. I have walked across some of them. A year or 2 ago, our local Costco had a book about the Titan Missiles in Oklahoma, very interesting. [/QUOTE]
