Terry, Mount Weather was built as one of a series of bunkers on the outskirts of Washington DC from Northern VA out to underneath the Greenbriar Resort to Raven Rock, PA (Site R) just north of Camp David. Mount Weather consists of two activities, originally it was constructed as one of the said doomsday bunkers, that is Area B and it is the underground facility. Site A is the FEMA facility that also supports Continuity of Government operations and other FEMA activities that has sprung up over the top of Site B to give it "cover." Here is an eyeball of the site... http://cryptome.org/eyeball/weath3/weath3-eyeball.htm. While the above ground camp has 20-25 some buildings, I doubt that any of them truly need the capabilities of a 105' aerial, other than this is the US Government and they have a lot of our money to freely spend, and hell as long as it is on a Pierce, I guess I don't care.



My original comment was meant as a sarcastic comment not a full analysis of whether they truly need a 105' aerial, which I seriously doubt they do, but come on the comment about an underground facility was funny!!!!!



By the way only to of those sites I mentioned earlier are still operational. The site under the Greenbriar resort has been shut down, it originally was designed to be the bunker that Congress would adjourn to. Mount Weather has always been an upper leadership bunker (ie President, Vice President if they could not get them out of town via aircraft.......Mount Weather is a short helicopter ride from DC and it has a helipad......while Site R was always the military bunker and in fact is the site of the Alternate National Military Command Center the back up to the National Military Command Center in the Pentagon.
