FWIW, the "small structures at 37° 9'46.28"N, 115°46'48.13"W" are:
- A white 55 gallon barrel with a number on it. This is used at many intersections in the Groom area for orientation and perimeter security. A similar structure can be found near the intersection at N 37 12' 50" W 115 45' 15". See the attached link for a photo of one of the drums.
- Probably a (reflective) warning sign or silver ball, or some other feature marking the border of Area 51 towards bombing range 64A in the south.

The service roads leading down to the building at 37°10'21.94"N 115°46'19.35"W are present in a 1968 satellite image (although the site is outside the frame). So the radio site, or at least part of it, dates back to before 1968.
