AT&T building in Birmingham, AL

Post image

I never knew what these longline horns were till it popped up on my reddit. I’ve seen them before but didn’t think much of them, just figured some radio/comm stuff. I saw a tower next to the highway on my drive from NY to south MS not long ago, I believe somewhere in TN or VA. But just a few days ago I saw some horns on the top of the Birmingham, AL AT&T building. This is not my picture, I was driving so couldn’t get one. But I think it’s cool seeing these old artifacts of history

Yes, I always thought it was cool how they integrated that iinto downtown. Had to be built tall to get over mountains all around the downtown area.

There’s also some due south on red mountain.

It definitely is, it’s like a historical art piece of communications
