I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos of the old Long Line sites as it reminds me of the unadulterated imagination of my childhood. This was the leading edge of technology in those days and to take a long distance call was a unique experience: Unlike today, we could hear the "lag time" in the microwave transmission from sender to receiver. It presented as an echo of sorts. Again, thank you for you diligence and cinematography, which is wonderful.
Thanks for watching and the positive comment. Most people don't realize the importance the system played in everyday life and national defense. Unfortunately this history is slowly disappearing, as some sites are being demolished.
It's owned by American Tower at this time. There's still electric to the site, but it appears to be totally unused. I have found this to be true of several of site I have visited.
That's a good question, but unfortunately one I don't have an answer for. A lot of the sites are no longer owned by AT&T, but by American Tower. Thanks for watching.

Not even a cell site at this point. How sad.

We still have active towers and horns being used by DoD.
It wouldn't surprise me, but so far I haven't been to any of those sites. Thanks for watching.
Where did the horn antennas go?
