There's one in the mountains of Washington also, the Jim Creek VLF station. IIRC, the antenna array is actually strung between two mountain tops, and the "ground array" is many miles of copper cable buried in the valley floor, the buildings associated with it all have copper mesh in the walls, etc., and NO ONE outside when it's transmitting.

One associated with submarines, even. (It's a nuclear reactor research and test facility.)

I thought the Navy closed down the prototype reactor training school at INEL (Idaho National Engineering Laboratory -- about 70 miles out into the sticks from Idaho Falls) several years ago (mid 1990s). Only Ballston Spa, NY and Barnwell, SC remain as training sires for Navy nuclear plant operators?
