[BC] Old Arrays

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

This thread makes me wonder how many abandoned sites are out there with the
towers still standing?  I know of one 6 tower site south of Toledo Ohio that
was once home to the 1520 signal in Toledo.  Fred Vobbe and I took some pics
of it from the air.

Willie:

The transmitter is still in the shack, but I don't think its ever been used
in 15 years. The towers seem like they are in decent shape.
