[note that it is only one of two designated radio quiet zones in the United States, alongside the Green Bank Quiet Zone in West Virginia]
“The Table Mountain Field Site and Radio Quiet Zone is located approximately 15 km north of the Department of Commerce campus in Boulder, CO. The site is approximately 4 km (2.5 miles) in a north-south direction by 2.4 km (1.5 miles) east-west and has an area of approximately 680 hectares (1,700 acres). While Table Mountain is owned by the Department of Commerce, ITS has been designated to oversee site management and operations. Table Mountain is expansive enough to support a multitude of radio frequency and non–radio frequency research programs overseen by ITS, NIST, NOAA, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
To preserve this rare asset, Table Mountain is protected by law as one of only two federally mandated radio quiet zones within the United States where external signals are restricted by state law and federal regulation. The regulations specify field strength limits at various distances and frequencies and recommend advance coordination for transmitters within a n 80 km (50 mi) radius of the site…”
