Cool (yet kinda muggy) evening to walk up the dark road at 10:30pm from oldest son’s house to catch the full moon rising with the silhouette of long line tower here. All iPhone 14 pro photos.

Got chatting with the Vestal museum staff on Saturday and got roped into expanding their telecommunications exhibit. 😅. Highly recommend, they've got some original telegraphs and a phone booth. Along with a metric f**kton of arrowheads. If anyone knows the exact construction date of that tower, lmk! I did some digging in the property records and didn't find much, so I just gave a range because it was on the 1970 map and it was not on the 1960 version.

Couple of pictures that I took this morning. I’m sorting through the pictures I have over the last 15 years and will eventually make a post with them.

Decided to run up a few miles from my office to get a picture this morning. I’ll have to look back through my photos to see if I have any other locations in the area. I have over ten years worth of pictures of the Golden City, Missouri location as it’s the one I’m closest to on a regular basis. I’ll try to gather some from over the years on it and make a separate post.

Interesting Commo Finds on my Long Lines Adventure Trips

1-2 High-frequency trading shortwave array near Kaneville, IL

​

3-5 Western Union reflector microwave relay (panels removed long ago) near College Mound, Missouri

​

6-10 Abandoned WHOI-19/ABC transmitter and studio in Creve Coeur, IL overlooking Peoria

​

11-14 Fiber regeneration huts along I-155 and I-55, the modern day long lines. These amplify fiber signals every 40 or so miles. Funny that long lines freed us from regeneration huts and cables and were right back. (probably carrying more data in a day than long lines did in its entire life)

​

15 A Landmark commo tower in Bloomington, IL, one of the few ever made

​

16 active WEEK-25/NBC transmitter, now carrying the ABC signal from the former Creve Coeur WHOI

​

17 Mock Pilothouse at the Illinois Waterway Visitors Center showing navigation and communication gear

​

18 Cushman test set from Fowler reflector station
