BZN doesn't want radar for weather, they want a radar approach control.
The FAA will not buy and install it. If BZN buys and installs it the
FAA has already said that they will handle the radar. It would be
remoted to my facility in Billings. The same thing already happens now
in Missoula. Those radar controllers are in Spokane.

The tower at Groton Ct (KGON) is a contract tower . In talking to the
controllers they said the tower has no radar and the FAA will NOT
supply/install it for them, and their best source of weather is from a TV in
the cab. They rely on position reports & binoculars for traffic awareness
