Discarded AT&T Microwave Bunkers For Sale

InitZero writes "American Tower is selling nearly 2000 old AT&T Long Line microwave locations that are no longer needed thanks to fiber. These towers -- spaced about 50 miles in every direction -- and their associated bunkers were designed to withstand World War III. The average location (find one near you) has two acres of land, 1,800 square feet worth of bunker and a tower of 200 feet. Some locations still have their hardware (60KW generator, microwave feedlines, equipment racks, feed horns, etc.) All this for an average price of just $25,000. If you're a ham radio operator, building a data center or just looking for a place to put your wireless access point, these locations look awesome."

Let F = Food high in fiber. Let M = Microwave.

F = Bad

F + M = Good

Just start your BASIC class there, buddy? :)

We don't turn the power up on our Cat 5 because we're talk to Slashdot and eBay at the same time...

Damn! So that's what I've been doing wrong!
