My first worry – they want to track my rocket launches. Then, if I can get access to the feed, this could be awesome.

Pointing right at that government listening post at Pillar Point, too. Good for them.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/imager] "The radar’s large antenna and high power coherent transmitter make the site’s data quality very high. The sensor can also provide Doppler-derived range rate data on skin or coherent transponder tracks. Non-owners may utilize the services of the radar, but site operations and maintenance is limited to the Western Range contractor."

That could put a damper on some sun bathing options…. =8-0 I’d bet we could come up with some ways to induce them to turn the camera to the west… 😉

I find this statement intereting "Non-owners may utilize the services of the radar, " What, a USAF base has private ownership? Regardless, I think what they mean is that they have some sort of program for rocket man trusty citizens to use god knows whatever data feed and telemetric services that rocket men / rocket gals would be interested in. PR for the ballistic missile and space commands. Cheaper than the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels I suppose and less risky. For all I know the private citizens in that part of the world have better space telemetry and data feed services than the USAF. Seems unlikely but I sure would not bet on it. So SJ could rig up the view cam of the Ritz reception desk to start monitoring whatever they put out from Pillar Point, see how well the sats can track golf balls or surfer contestants with Go Pro cams.
