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.


Tom Kneitel said he was able to get the big picture data
via FOUO but some of the fields were blanked.

Even some of the FAA freq's for towers and so forth
were listed as "Air Service" or whatever the general
category was called. And likewise, some of the locations
were very generalized "San Gabriel Mtn Wilderness" for
example.

I think you meant FOIA versus FOUO, but I get the idea.

The locations leak out easier than the actual frequencies. For
instance, when they test Guardrail, they go years between testing
since they go years between new versions of the plane. Goat Mountain
has been the transmitter site for years for that project.

Often what happens is the feds need to lease space on county or state
owned land. In order to prevent back room deals, most of these leases
show up on the internet. For instance, the FBI contracts for a site on
Mt. San Bruno. The contract was on the county website, along with the
FBI request to keep it confidentiall ;-)
