Zombie Shelter with a Really Big Satellite Dish

The Jamesburg Earth Station in central California is for sale:
The Jamesburg Earth Station was built by NASA in 1968 for receiving transmissions from the Apollo moon landings, then it was used by AT&T for satellite telecommunications.

It even played a key role relaying pictures of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. Now it can be yours for $2.9million.

The fully steerable dish is about 11 storeys high and 98 feet across, which should enable you to suck in just about any TV station on Earth.

Your purchase includes more than just the dish, as you also get the 20,000 square foot operations building with an indoor basketball court, a helicopter landing pad, a three bedroom house, a barn, and 160 acres of land.

The whole thing sits in central California about 20 miles southeast of Monterey,.... [T]he main building was constructed to withstand a 5 Megaton nuclear blast.

And one more great thing .. the new owner can have his or her own worldwide television station, because you can broadcast directly to Asia, South America, the South Pacific, and the entire United States.
