There was a set in the Blue Hills. After it was decommissioned people used to meet there with CB and Ham radios to swap equipment. That was before the MIT Flea.

Apparently the site in the fells was a different kind of anti-aircraft base, and was decommissioned when the nike missiles came out. Interesting article here: https://www.medfordhistorical.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MHSNewsletterFall2022-LO.pdf
