New Micro-Wave Relay Antenna Shack at Range 61

On April 26, before driving back to Las Vegas just around sundown, I decided to check out the gate area (the famous "Jim Wilson" gate) at Range 61 at the southern end of the Mail Box Rd., which I haven't been since almost a year or so.
To my surprise, I noticed that there was what appeared to be a new micro-wave relay antenna unit and shack located just next to the gate. The dish was pointing towards northwest direction, i.e., directly towards the communications tower high atop the Bald Mountain about 15 miles or so away.
I was wondering when this antenna unit and shack was placed and also whether it had anything to do with any operations for the Red Flag exercises.
