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."

would this make a great fallout shelter, but you could heat up all of your cans of food with all that microwave goodness.

So could I hook them all up, then focus them at a single point to cook my hot pockets in a matter of a few seconds?
