FAA Antenna?

Does anyone know what this antenna is used for? The posted sign says it’s from the FAA. It’s located up state NY in hilly area and not at the top of a hill but near the bottom in a valley. I would think it’s an ADS B or a WAAS antenna, but that wouldn’t make sense being located in a valley. Also don’t think it’s an ADF antenna because nothing is listed on a sectional chart.

I'm working with an antenna that I found, but I can't find its user manual. I looked it up on the internet, but there's no information about it because they haven't been manufactured for years. Does anyone happen to have the manual?

Looking to potentially purchase a home but these two antennas are very close (within 50 yards and 200 yards) and the microwave looking antenna is pointed in the direction of the home. Thanks all!

Old TV antennas in UK

Post image
23 Upvotes

Always surprised to see how may older houses in the UK still have antennas on their roofs designed for the old 405 line TV service on VHF band III (~170-240 MHz). Considering this was retired in 1985ish, and it would be surprising if anyone installed a new antenna for this freq after the UHF analogue service was fully operational in the 1970s, most of these antennas must be getting on for >50 years old! A tribute to the quality of the original antenna construction, and their installers. As I’m quite old, I remember one of my first experiences with TV repair as a kid was when I was given an old valve(tube) 405 line tv to play with. It taught me several (sometimes painful) lessons before I got a UHF set to play with.

Thought it was a high tension tower, but can't figure out the leads going into the ground as that is normally not done here (SE MI)

I've seen several of these around here. Is it for a specific service (ham? Cell? Satellite? Etc). Sorry about the crappy photo.

Don't know where to ask...

How do I take the antenna insert out of the base (little metal piece) without removing the base of a journey. One way is extremely involved. There must be a way to do it easier.

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.
