No, they are astronomical radiotelescopes.  The area is known as the
Table Mountain Quiet Zone by the FCC, and that is why radio and TV
reception in Boulder is so miserable....the TV transmitters on Mt.
Morrison in Jeffco must be "lobed" to reduce the signal strength that
points at Table Mountain...and Boulder just happens to be in the way.

According to FCC regs, before anyone (including hams) can start up
fixed transmission stations within several miles of Table Mountain,
they have to get approval from the FCC to ensure that the
transmissions won't interfere with the operations there.
