Interesting info. Evaluating the YLC-8E (or a similar) radar would certainly be in line with projects at Area 51. The articles mention a range of 300+ miles. At that distance a clear, low-to-the-horizon line of sight is important or your test aircraft has to fly impossibly high. The canyon opens to the NNW, in the direction of the Tonopah ECR 60 miles away and the restricted airspace of the Fallon Ranges 160 miles away.
