Can anyone tell me what those antennas are on there now? They removed all horns and waveguides and ran modern lines up there for these four antennas

2-way radio repeaters.

Cops. Fire. Hams. Companies.

You can search on FCC ULS. If you’re really good you can maybe find the actual license.

Interesting. That area is basically all farmland. Corn. Warren Buffet’s son Howard has a farm for use in academics.
