New DSES Building Update

An update on the progress of our DSES building project. Our DSES Vice President and Project Manager, Bill Miller, has spent many hours and has made many trips down to the Plishner Site near Haswell Colorado to make this project happen.  After many delays, some due to COVID, in finding contractors for concrete, plumbing, and electrical as well as building manufacturers to provide a 60-foot by 30-foot structure, DSES has finally made some progress.  We still have many hours of interior/exterior work and antenna towers to place before we can move our current operations from the existing communications trailer and the underground bunker.  This future work will still require many trips and hours on site to complete these tasks.  We hope our local Colorado DSES members will be able to provide some help in completing these projects.  DSES will provide dates and times of these trips so members can plan their time at the Plishner Site.  A big thank you to Bill Miller for taking on this project and to those other members who were able to assist him over the past few months.
