Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nist Time and Frequency Services
The site was attractive for several reasons, one being its exceptionally high ground conductivity, which was due to the high alkalinity of the soil. It was also reasonably close to Boulder (about 80 km, mi), which made it easy to staff and manage; but much farther away from the mountains. The increased distance from the mountains made it a better choice for broadcasting an omnidirectional signal.
