Very interesting. I knew that we had some troops down in Australia, but I never thought that we would be building a base, like this one, anytime soon. Nice find!

I'm surprised, but the base budget is still allo',
just build further north. The island/country of Nui was
dev' by a cyclone approx' 3 mths ago. The mil' r in there
rebuilding everything and why not include a base(sat)
for echel' at the same time. Nui was the only island
on the the globe with 24/7 free wireless isp.
(centri' and airport)
Until the storm destroyed the dish or whatever.
Scrap Yepoon, just build north

If u look at the location of Nui, i hope i spelt
Nui right, it's perfect 4 a dish close to the
equator. Could it be more cost effective?
Probably, as the 'base' would require min'
person'. Everything would be just data transfer.
And seeing as we are there re-building
the homes and infra-structure, and the
island had a dish before the hurri', why not
re-install the dish, BUT a slightly updated one,lol
