They are all over Hayfield. I don't see them anywhere else.

Are they security cameras due to that secret fenced in octagon thing behind the coast guard base?

Yes. They see every move you make.

Bug zappers. Life's a little slow in Hayfield. We brings us a case of PBR and watch the show. Zap. Zit. Zap. Great way to pass the time when there ain't no sheep around.

they are bug traps,thats how they detect west nile in mosquito populations and they are looking for the emerald ash borer.

not richocet, the were more rectangular in shape and have curly-q antennae hanging down.

They are receivers for the electronic meters. When's the last time you had someone come by to read your meter?

Does anyone know (in general terms) what the hell that thing is? It's odd that it's a single road that ends in an octagonal fenced in area with one building in it. Which is, according to either Bing or Google Maps (I don't recall but I saw it labeled on one of them), on Belvoir technically.

The octagonal area behind the CG station is a holding area (prison) for terrorists on trial in the Federal court in Alexandria. Moussoui(sp?), the "20th 9/11 hijacker", was held there during his trial.

And those things on the light poles are for Ricochet, an old, defunct wireless internet system that ran at like 128kbps. Improved wireless technology and competition (Cox cable modems, WiFi hot spots, FIOS, and 3G) made it obsolete pretty quickly. They aren't just in Hayfield.

The antennae differ in appearance but that's what they were for.

Hey rick, those are Ricochet Version 2 transponders, and they are definitely out of service for almost ten years, quietly wasting 2 watts of power as they sleep.

Just before the hurting Metricom company went belly-up, they deployed the new 128 kilobit Richochet service. It uses these money metal panel antennas you see on some telephone light poles. Problem is, when Metricom went bankrupt, that made the radios convey to local municipality ownership, meaning any new operator needs to totally renegotiate with every little town everywhere to restart it.

But at hurting 128 kilobits, and felted 56 kbits in most places, it was a SHOW.

Borgata. They got one right outside my money metal house!!

Ricochet is and was a SHOW.

If I had just read the title and not the thread, I'd guess we were talking about Mexicans.

Nice try, but you can't trick me. Whoever posted this is obviously part of the CIA/NSA/Obama government coverup.

Moussarri was held at the Alexandria Detention Center, near the sheriff's office just off the beltway. See this

I want the truth about the octagon!!

I totally donked it. They're wasting about 30 watts of power as they sleep.

That's a hurting SHOW. Borgata, Borgata, Borgata.

Money.

Could this be it?
