Stansbury secrets

Stansbury Island is not unfamiliar to me, as it's a pretty popular destination for locals to go shooting. One thing that always did peak my curiosity was a small little building near the corner of the turn to go on to the road leading to the island. Always meant to look it up but never really took the time to until recently, and boy did I find a whole rabbit hole of other info that I'll be posting more about in the next week or so.

The Stansbury Island microwave station was a facility built to be a part of Bell's (now AT&T) first transcontinental microwave radio route, linking a station in SLC, UT to another in Cedar Mountain. It's somewhat unique for a microwave tower as the the horn antennas that are usually seen at the top of most towers are mounted very low to the ground and upside-down to avoid complications with the salt flats interfering with the signal. So now you know.
