Default Aspen at night

Yes, John, that's where the localizer is.
It's maybe 16 ruggedized VHF Yagis over a big metal-mesh groundplane.
The first time I saw it from a distance, I thought it might be
some sort of a picnic platform!



Ok, thanks!

Here it is from the satellite:

Cool!
You can zoom that out and pan northwest, to see how the beam fires
across the edge of the airport, pointing toward LINDZ!
