Let me try to state this again. I have the FCC database, which has
many coordinates of transmitters. MOST of the waypoints in the file
are from the FCC database. Now if the FCC location was far away from
what you see on Google Earth, I used the Google Earth location. That
is because often the FCC website is off a bit. For other facilities
(presumably DoD or Federal), I used the location I spotted on Google
Earth.

Now again, some of the comm sites on the NTS are commercial. I assume
the DOE contracted them. So those locations are from the FCC since the
frequencies are in commercial bands even though the end user is
federal.


Groovy.

I thought perhaps the FCC was now listing NTIA stuff
in their database. Stuff that we used to have to pay
Tom Kneitel for a few decades ago.

From on-line discussions I've had with Larry Van Horn, it is his
opinion that what is in the IRAC (i.e. NTIA) can be obtained
piecemeal. That is, you could FOIA each individual federal
organization and get their frequencies. It is the frequencies in
collective form that Ronald Reagan made FOUO.

I already found one bug. The "gray" mountain came from damn Radio
Reference. When will I ever learn not to trust that site? Gray Top
Mountain is further south on the same ridge. I think I mentioned I
stopped submitting fixes to Radio Reference for the trunk systems on
the range since they just get changed by the next contributor.

This is the location of Gray Top Mountain
n37 41 9.7 w 116 4 53.1
I don't see anything there. The spot from Radio Reference I listed as
gray is generally called Ragged Ridge.
