What's Going On at this High Security Facility at Walt Disney World?
Call to Dig
Coords in the photos.
The site is just west of the Magic Kingdom itself, but to the trained eye is much more than a corporate backwater.
The site is perimetered by two moats, two perimeter patrol roads, one a soft graded (to see foot tracks) next to fencing within fencing.
The site has feedlines from two large powerplants, one of which is a many megawatt huge solar plant to the west. The solar plant distribution lines run directly to this site, not the neighborhoods nearby. Efforts have been taken obscure the HV distribution lines from the conventional powerplant to the east.
Inside the high security fences there are a number of structures, virtually all of which have what look like corner-fed HF loop antennas mounted over and around them. These are not average loop antennas, but heavy masted, guyed and supplied by masted feedlines.
The roads are cleverly named. Maple Rd. (maypole - a mast w lines) and Maple Loop (maypole loop antennas).
These are not just listening antennas, although they would be extremely good and low noise ones. These are designed to transmit and at very high power levels. Very, very high levels.
To hams and military signals personnel, the attention to wavelength awareness is obvious at every point. The loop circumferences, heights above ground, location of metal nearby (fences) all have proportionality common to antenna and transmission theory.
Rough calculations put the frequencies in the 2.8, 3.8, and 7 MHz range and their harmonics above that. These are not random frequencies. These are very special with special properties that take advantage of the ionosphere directly overhead. The are designed to transmit straight up and bounce the signal straight down over an area of hundreds of miles. Using NVIS (near vertical incident skywave) At the higher harmonics of these frequencies and estimated power levels, signals could essentially be global.
So, the question is: What is going on here? Why do they need an array of this size, supplied with power on this scale, and security FAR greater than used around nuclear missile silos?

Diggers. To the shovels!
Will include more observations and pics in further posts.
