Interesting project, but there's no mountain location here and the antennas look more like 2m 1/2 wave from the video...

.. this makes sense - except that project is well-known to the BLM and other folks. My brother is a ARC-GIS engineer for the BLM division and he confirmed the equipment in POWDER is registered with them, the state and the FTC.

They wouldn’t have funded guerrilla placement of the towers. That’s just stupid and illegal.

ive experienced some very bright grad students, with the poor decision skills common to somone not yet twenties.

I’m a PhD student at the University of Utah, and I actually worked with the Flux Research Group last semester, who operate POWDER, and this isn’t them.

We are not reckless researchers at the U.

Also, the POWDER team maintains this infra, so it’s not some rouge faction. Please stop with the baseless conspiracy conjectures.

you are in prime location to observe new additions to the signal spectrum, as well as jondav being in a position to physically observe equipment being placed. have you noticed any RF activity that may be attributed to these devices?

as for baseless conspiracy, thats not happening in this comment.

perhaps youcould enlighten me re:

i would also suggest you get a handle on what the intention of this [rogue] hardware is,and what sort of interaction it may be having with your equipment.

Hey Aston, good to see you on here. I agree this is not how Flux/POWDER operates, I do not see Alex going up the hill and placing equipment without approval...
