Ron your shelters are top notch. I was able to go in one and I have to say, the level of quality you put into them is second to none. Everything is thought out and executed to perfection. And I don’t know if you remember or not but I actually met you in Port O Connor years ago. You answered every question I asked and you was the nicest person anyone could have the pleasure to meet. If one day I ever can afford to put in a shelter, I’m not looking anywhere else except at Atlas. Great video, great shelters, and a great person in general.

Pretty much everyone reading my post has passed telecom bunkers on a fairly regular basis. Many if you probably pass a few of them on the way to work. Ever seen the green boxes on the roadside that are maybe a foot tall and a few feet by a few feet in dimension? Those are entrances to telecom equipment bunkers called controlled environment vaults. They are mini switching stations used for distributing phone service to neighborhoods. They are air conditioned and humidity controlled. So watch out for one the next time you are going down a main road lined with subdivisions.

These underground sites were originally main repeater stations for the L3 or L5 carrier long distance(toll) facilities. It operated on buried transcontinental coaxial cables. These main repeaters were spaced along the route about 100 miles apart, with many smaller auxiliary repeaters in between. They were called "hardened routes". One cable carried thousands of phone calls! The main equipment room would of been filled with bays of amplifiers, regulators, equalizers, also LMX2 bays ( multiplexing equipment ), channel banks and group modulators. It was all so fascinatingly complex! I miss those days of the old technology! All of this was replaced by 1992 by fiber optic cables. These are historical sites.

With all of that land they should instal as decent solar power system. He must have a very understanding wife to live like this until each section is finished. That emergency escape does not look very well protected. I did not see a blast door protecting the bunker. I would also hope these sites have been taken off of Russia's hit list since they have been decommissioned from the emergency comms system. But from what I see is happening in Ukraine the Russians don't give a damn about the civilian population.
