And now....for something  completely different....
 
GATR stands for Ground to Air, Transmit and Recieve.  The road led to  the 
radio station for the old air base, which was opened in 1952 and closed at
the 
end of the Cold War.  The radio station had to be housed away from the
radar 
dome, which, evidentally, interfered with radio transmission.
 
I'm certain everyone was aching to know that.
