Question about a thing in Wyoming.

Enlarge the photo and it's a billboard. Maybe planes fly near it.

I think that is a “passive wave antenna”.

There is one just like this located near me. It is a microwave “reflector” that bounces microwave energy to a receiver not visible from the originating station (telecommunications). Requires no power to operate. They are usually located on a hill.

It is an ad letting you know that your car warranty is about to expire,,
we have 12 of them in Roanoke,, I call each time my warranty expires,,,

If I am camping,, can I use that microwave to re-heat my hotdogs?

That would be great, I would not have to release the carbon in the fallen trees by building a campfire,, VERY eco - responsible,,

So it's like, a microwave snatchblock?

It’s an abandoned drive in movie screen, duh.

OK, I can buy into the passive microwave reflector. I can see there are no solar panels now. Anyone know who or what it serves?

A pallet convention?

I know where it's vicinity is and it's out in the middle of nowhere. Looks like a com repeater like the one near Togwotee pass north of Jackson Wy.
