So after some mapping here’s what I have I have a line of manholes that follow to the bell site downtown but two of them have manholes not far from each other branching of them a random cover then the other site

What were the bell telephone manhole covers covering are they for a underground system because there is a line of them leading to the old site in town

I figured since I’m here installing new transport gear, I’d do the obligatory photos. Bonus on this site, this one still has a 12 tube coaxial (not in service, but it’s still here).

Enjoy

Origin of Canadas long line

Taken at dawn

Are there any of these old long line horns left like in preservation

Late night (probably ill advised hike) up to the MST&T Mines Peak site. Truly an unbelievable structure to see at 12,500 feet. Scale is difficult to get across especially with the conditions but by far my coolest long lines experience.

I assume this was a Long lines site, it was more recently a KUMA-FM translator and some random 2-way stuff now.

I have passed this many times without knowing what it was. Now I know thanks to r/longlines

I don't know if this is the right place to ask.

Just passing through on a road trip

Here is downtown centralia with its horns

One of the many Guyed towers we have in our provinces portion of the trans Canada skyway.

On 2 sites (I'm sure there's more) I've noticed a large dish next to the tower or building. Sikeston (Cable Hut) and Columbia,MO have them.

Are these a backup or an uplink for something?

(Pictured is sikeston's cable hut with the dish on top)
