Description

Plano consists of an underground building entered through a small surface building, and an adjacent, large surface building.

In the past, Plano also was equipped with a steel-lattice microwave tower, which has been removed.

Historical Role

Plano was a main station for L-carrier (coaxial) cable routes to the following stations, as of January 1970:

• Cascade, IA
• Waukesha No. 2, WI
• Lee, IL
• Chicago No. 2, IL
• Norway, IL

The microwave tower probably linked Plano to Cloverdale and Norway.
