I have a few questions for anyone who knows the technical aspects of the ARTCC system.
Salt Lake ARTCC (or any Center) covers quite a large chunk of airspace. Is there just one radar site or are there many covering the area all transmitting data to the facility in SLC? What about the communications? I know they have different antennas spread about the country. How are they "hooked" the facility? Is it via landline or "beamed" via airways?
