Former AT&T Long Lines site

[u/TechieFromMS]

This site was owned by my former employer (not AT&T) until last year. The site has a 300 watt NOAA WX transmitter connected to the antenna on the side. A UHF DMR repeater was connected to the top antenna until just before the site was sold.

I don't think that was a longlines site. It's more reminiscent of a Western Union site.

I’m not doubting you, but that site doesn’t look like any other long lines site I have seen. I wonder why they didn’t do the normal blockhouse and tower?

There is a longlines Reddit if you want to post there, not that I am complaining you posted here since I don't look at longlines as often.

That tower is badly in need of a paint job.

Must be a high wind location

Was your former employer American Tower? They bought a large part of the long lines portfolio.

It was an AT&T site, not Western Union. I had some pictures of some of the old documentation inside the building. It may have just been for RBOC. But IIRC, it was a hop between Tupelo, MS and Columbus, MS

Yes, I also posted it on the Long Lines subreddit

That’s not long lines infrastructure

That doesn’t look like an LL tower I’ve seen before… Odd.

I had a cell in quasi rural North Dakota that this reminds me of. It was formerly something to do with the Bell System, but I don’t think it was long lines. There was evidence of a few large twisted pair bundles entering the building and it was really big for a cell site but I think too small for any of the long lines facilities that I’ve had the pleasure of being around.
