Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #562
Investigating a site in the remote Nevada desert where an underground nuclear warhead was detonated back in 1963.

Was in the US Army Signal Corps (1966-1972), the “drive in movie screen” is a passive microwave repeater.
Using a reflector allows for microwave signals to be bounced off the reflector and provides enough signal for your transmitter/receivers to work. Saves having to put in a active repeater which would require active equipment (power & maintenance).
