The High Rock AT&T site was an semi-hardened site located
about 20 miles south of Boston. Most of the major microwave routes
to Boston ran through this site. A single L-4 cable from Blackstone
ran to this site. Currently the site is inactive. The tower
does have a NEXTEL antenna system and part of the building has been rented
to NEXTEL. The site also has a AT&T cellular system with antennas
on the tower. High Rock in its hay day was the main site for AT&T
service personnel.
The microwave tower at High Rock as seen from the end of
the building that housed the three emergency generators. This part
of the building had a basement and was 2 stories tall. Two of the
KS-15676 microwave horns are Model L-14 antennas. Model L-14 antenna
are hardened to 2 PSI with shields mounted on the sides of the antenna.
The route with the hardened antennas terminates at Truro AFS.
