It looks great from this altitude (13500 MSL) though I thought I saw some plants growing along the edges and I have not made a low pass over it. This strip is not in the electronic turnpoint database as of April 2004.

The antennas/dishes can be moved into many configurations depending on what is being studied/viewed. So they may not be in the star pattern shown. There is not runway/airport in this area the various access roads around the array facility combined with careful inspection from the air should provide adequate outlanding options if needed.
