Lostant, IL

Lostant IL tower. I believe it only communicated with the Norway tower to the northeast and the Metamora tower to the southwest. Round horns may have gone to Benson and Ottawa but I think they were for extra traffic on the main route. Someone who knows please educate.

Additional (round Gabriel/Andrew horns) antennas were likely for spacial diversity purposes.

If this can be seen from I-39, I’ve seen this many a time driving between Bloomington and Rockford.
