BEACON CA AT&T FACILITY
(BECNCA HOOS)
L3I MAIN STATION


Beacon (AKA Baker) is about 15 SW of Turquoise AUTOVON site.  Although closely located
there appears no carrier connectivity between the two sites.  Note nuclear detection device
in left rear corner.  Exhaust stacks indicate a pair of White-Superior V-12 diesels.  Beacon
had a two man crew that maintained the equalizing equipment and the 505D power plant as well
as cable patrol and maintenance. Photo courtesy of Ken Rice.
