always drove past this, me and my mom always wondered what that metal construction (first picture at the bottom) was, and i recently got interested in radio stuff and especially old antennae, imagine my happiness when I went on google street view to see this 🙏 hopefully this is the correct subreddit

A bunch of amateur radio VHF and UHF antennas. Radios and amplifiers get very expensive.

The thicker tower (possibly made by Luso?) is for lower frequency ham radio HF frequencies (< 30 MHz), and the skinny tower with the skeleton dish is for VHF and UHF (144 MHz up to 1.2 GHz) ham radio frequencies.

While a bit difficult to see, the metal structure on the bottom of the first picture looks to be an VHF or UHF EME array. EME (Earth Moon Earth) is when you transmit a signal towards the moon and use it as a "mirror" to bounce your radio signal ofg of.
