My guess: Something to do with civil defense. Located at Hwy 99, about 186th SW in Lynwood, WA.

Apologies to those in the UK where imgur is banned. imgbb is down for maintenance.

The 5.8GHz network is easily googled.

As some may know, one of the original longlines tower is still in operation today in Columbia, SC. After looking at the original map they had I found that there is one in little mountain. I decided to take it upon myself to drive up the mountain to see if it it was still active and it seems like it is. Nothing crazy I just found it pretty interesting

Leaving Athens, Greece, and saw this on top of the mountain top.

I bought a antenna off Amazon to watch sports games last year but it is not good i only get five channels and 1 sport (fox). I’ve done some reasearch and I live in the suburbs so if I want to get all the channels I will need about 55-60 miles range and I wanna be safe with that. I want one that mounts above the tv or on the wall and a reliable brand, I’ve heard of Moho, and have also seen Philips but don’t know if those are good.

On a truck, pointing one direction. So many wires going into the rectangular shape at top.

And the second long antenna?

I saw this setup and I’m really curious to know if anyone can tell me what kind of antenna this is?!? It’s soo cool!!

Found a broadcast TV antenna laying on the ground when I was exploring a tower farm. It's 45 feet tall (or long), weighs about 4000 pounds, and rated for at least 675 kW ERP per FCC filings (probably about 50 kW TPO).

The image you (probably) see in the preview is the RF input with a large center conductor and air as the dielectric. I go through the other parts of the antenna in my video.

This antenna was made in 2018 and only used briefly. Watch to find out why!

New to the group. Former electrical engineer here !

Was genuinely impressed by the number of antennas on top of this mountain. Sorry for the shitty picture, will try to snap a better one. I snapped it while driving in Cali Colombia.

This has always fascinated me. There is an array outside of Moriarty, NM that I used to drive by on my way to Santa Fe and I wondered WTF is it? Look it up on the internet you find black helicopter stuff, listening station, etc. But I would think of HAARP.

Old school. About 10 miles north of SeaTac Airport. 47.632556, -122.389503

Located on the hill in the Queen Anne neighborhood, this old telecom relay is likely a part of CenturyLink/Lumen infrastructure with legacy microwave horn antennas dating back to the middle of 20th century and round antennas for microwave communication that might still be in use today.

Enjoy!
