Who Is Planting Antennas and Solar Panels Near Salt Lake City?

It seems that someone is installing antenna-equipped rigs all over the foothills of Salt Lake City. Local government officials don't know what the rigs are for. They are annoyed to have to take the shit down.

Tyler Fonarow, the city's recreational trails manager, said they don't know what they are.

According to Fonarow, the first rigs showed up about a year ago, but a half dozen more have popped up since then. The rigs look like odd beaconing towers, usually consisting of a solar panel, an antenna, and a locked battery box. They are left in mountains that are hard to reach.

Fonarow said the towers were bolted into different peaks and summits. He said that it could be as many as a dozen. One of the rigs that had been left on Twin Peaks was dismantled by Fonarow and other officials in a video shared by the local news outlet.

It took hours to dismantle and remove the rig. We were up at the Twin Peaks once we got there. He said that they brought the equipment down to make it easier on them.

Fonarow commented that the strange setup might be related to cryptocurrencies. He spoke.

“It might be related to cryptocurrency and relaying networks and being able to make money off that...so that’s another reason we want to stop it now before it becomes a dumping ground for dozens and dozens of more antennas.”

Is that really true? Is that what? Is there a secret sun-pilfering system set up by shit coin schemers?

We reached out to the city's trails department for more information after Fonarow didn't give any details on the angle. The department's community outreach manager said that the idea of a digital currency came from locals.

Allen said that when they posted on their social media accounts asking if anyone in the community had information about the towers, several commenters speculated that the towers could be set up to minecryptocurrencies. We don't have the experts on staff to verify this and we want to find out what they are for. The items are removed from public property.

How many of the government's things have been upended? Two towers have been removed so far, and we are aware of four or five more, some of which are on adjacent jurisdiction. It would have been a good workout to bring the equipment up to those remote areas, but it would have been easy for someone in good shape to do. He said it was not clear how much the equipment was.

We have no idea what's going on here, so we're going to let you know in the comment section.
