They have torn down (literally) all three 65 ft. high x 8,000 ft. long backscreens with their 549 supporting towers and framework. The groundscreens, microwave tower, buildings and fences still remain, along with the disturbed concrete footings for the backscreen structures.
This facility consists of three segments - the coords above are to the central sector building (Segment 4 - Receive). En route to this you will pass Segment 6, and about a mile further past Segment 4 you will reach Segment 5.
The transmitter facility is located near Christmas Valley, Oregon, and has been reduced to a similar condition.
