Google Imagery. One of the new (wef 28 October 2007?) "better" resolution
sites is Greenville B.
The transmitter buildings are now clear at 600M but there still seems to
be an enormous network of lanes with no masts on the end of them!
There is definitely one fan-shaped array of antennas (identical to those
at IBB Lampertheim and Sentech Meyerton) centred on
approx 35 28 12 N 77 13 30 W

Try Visual Earth, here it can be just barely seen what all these lanes are
leading to (antennas of course, just with small masts, unlike the curtain
rows aiming at Europe and Africa). It's even a bit better on the other
site (they are almost clones), with the transmitter building at
35 41 53 N 77 09 14 W
And here are more pictures, apparently taken on a tour in the order Site B
- Site A - Site C (former receiving site):
Reviewing these photos also brought what I believe to be the likely
explanation for Site A still being staffed for some time after all
transmissions had ceased: It seems that satellite gear had been set up
only at Site A, which fed also Site B through a dedicated STL. So maybe
they just had to put up all the satellite stuff at Site B in order to let
go Site A completely.
