If war breaks out, I'm heading to one of several we lease space on. I'm
sure the owner won't mind.

There are some amazing Long Lines sites in WA and ID that serve almost
no useful purpose, now that all long distance traffic moves via
fiber... The ones closer to major metro areas have more tenants and
more value to their new owners.
The Long Lines sites that were built solely as a means to get a PTP
relay over a major mountain range are amazing. Built with massive
diesel tanks and ventilation intakes 18' off the ground due to snow
pack. These ones have the original horn antennas and not much else,
maybe some VHF/UHF omni radio repeaters for forestry/national parks.

I have a bunch I took of a Long Lines concrete tower in
Springfield, OH that was being torn down on my FB somewhere.

Some of the old AT&T sites are cool. Hardened bunkers with walls
many feet thick.

Yeah, you wouldn’t want information like this getting out:
http://wikimapia.org/10668587/AT-T-Norway-IL-Class-1-Switching-Center
Not a big secret, since it’s a very distinctive looking tower
visible from 10-20 miles away due to the high ground it sits
on. It was also one of the ground sites for the Air Force 1
secure communications network, I don’t know if that’s still
operational, I think maybe it is.
Last I heard DeKalb, IL is still an active fiber POP. Tower
is not used, but they won’t least space or sell it. It’s
right in town and not a very well kept secret.

It has tons in the midwest, I think I unchecked
several sections before I saved the KML. I was
looking only at the Pacific Northwest. Open the
drop-down arrow that is the main category and
re-check the other 4 or 5 categories.

I thought I knew where all
the notable towers in WA
state were, but turns out
I was missing a few on my
previously self-made AT&T
Long Lines map. Kudos to
whoever put this together.
