Reply to comment by SublimeMudTime in TIL that in 1968 the US Navy proposed turning 2/5ths of Wisconsin into a giant underground radio antenna so orders could still be sent to submarines following a nuclear attack on America by DeadForDecember

There’s a Nelson DeMille (fiction) book, wildfire I believe, that references this a lot - great read

I think Michael Crichton’s Sphere features the same antenna, too!
