History

There are good views from its largely unforested plateau, on which there is a US steel lattice mast. This was the previous location of Arft Radio Relay station (AFCC designation Adenau) maintained by the Air Force Communications Command now Air Force Network Integration Center and United States Air Force Europe USAFE. Arft was an unmanned microwave relay station linking the 2139th Communication Squadron at Prum Air Station and various points in Germany.

gollark: 20 gigabytes would be a lot of datasheets. I think the thing mentioned there was source code for some things too.

gollark: Someone involved in leaking it, apparently.
