The Titan Missile Museum

Discone Antenna.

This particular antenna is now able to be used by Ham Radio operators:

The nearly 80 feet tall Discone was built by Collins Radio Company in the early 1960s and installed at its present location becoming operational 15th of July 1963 by the USAF until the site was deactivated in 1982. The antenna, since then, had been used only a few times by the Green Valley Amateur Radio Club for special events. Since 2007, the antenna has been used on a continuous basis by the Green Valley Amateur Radio Club and HAMS from around the world.

The Titan Missile Museum

I was sadly not on my bike, but the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History in Albuquerque is an awesome stop. You can see an (hopefully) inert man-portable bomb strapped to a rucksack from the cold war.
