Anybody really know who built this site and when and why?

There's some speculation on this hiking forum:

As far as I can tell, it is not FAA and not NOAA. I'd guess that the speculation that it was some kind of Star Wars site is correct? But why is it maintained to this day?

Looks like a military tracking antenna... if it is a military instalation, it sure lacks the multiple "us government, no trespassing" signs

Really? Both sites are part of a Boeing test thing? The site with no radome looks like it is just pointing directly at the big white ball. I always assumed that whatever radar was in the dome must be pointing up high since the site is is a valley. Any more details?
