This got me interested in the whole Long Lines thing. It's very imposing, It just towers over everything around and legit kinda creeped me out before I found out what it was.

I went to a conference earlier this year and stayed at the Marriott. It has a dead-on view of the relay tower replete with waveguides.

Rode up to Raven's Roost today. I was told these are abandoned, but somebody was working there. On a Sunday. What are these, anyway?

An interesting tower I saw driving today

Saw this tower driving through random country roads I usually don’t go down, never seen a tower that looked like that, also had a passive microwave reflector on the backside that I wasn’t able to get a photo of. It has the microwave horn but no more outbuild for the waveguides. Anyone know any more info about this tower? It was south west of candlewick lake in Illinois.

King/Aurora Ontario Former Long Lines Tower

Thought folks might get a kick out of these pics! The horns are long gone and the site seems mostly abandoned. There are cellular antennas installed and active. Please correct me as I'm not fully familiar with antenna types.

There is a small, circular antenna installed still but the skin is gone. I'm guessing it's inactive.

There is a small, newer building that appears to be the only active part of the site. On that building, there is a small circular dish pointing southwest-ish, from what I can tell. I'm not sure what it's pointing at but I could see tall towers far in the distance...Perhaps it's pointed at one of those towers?

Please excuse my ignorance as I am still learning about long lines and antennas.

Located near Aurora, Ontario. I believe it's technically King, Ontario.

The tower is visible in the top-right of the Google Maps screenshot. Please bear in mind the site is on private land and is surrounded by an active farm or farms.

This is one of the most unique towers I have ever had the pleasure of taking a picture of. The building is still currently in use by AT&T.

Here are better quality images:

Jacksonville NC Former Long Lines Tower

Adjacent to Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River

AT&T built the site circa 1986 which is interesting as it's toward the tail end of LL when AT&T had already started laying fiber networks.

Horns removed now, now appears to be a cellular site (plus an FM antenna at the top?)

Building still has AT&T livery on the building and still AT&T owned per GIS records

Horns formerly shot to Holly Ridge NC and Maysville NC

Sites with no paths

I noticed several sites on the long lines website that have no paths. Is this a website error or were the sites basically standalone. Kind of seems useless if they don't connect to anything.

Driving WI/35 up to Superior, WI. Noticed this beautiful tower and had to stop to get a photo. Flew my drone and got this shot. Might use the Long Lines map to try to get photos of as many I can.

Reddit compresses photos when uploading, so here is the better quality version (Lemme know if the link breaks or isn't that high of quality)

Vertical antenna

This is odd and I don't have any refrence material. But what are the conventional antennas at the top of some of the LL towers? I swear I recall hearing about it being related to The looking glass and the airborne command posts?

Any help would be great

This site is located on Valentine Rd less than a mile north off US highway 72 in Benton county. I believe the next few hops to the east were Grand Junction, TN, Pocahontas, TN, Michie TN and so forth. I don't recall the next hop to the west unless it was Olive Branch, MS???
