This comes to us courtesy of Albert LaFrance, from the Compuserve Telecomm Forum. Albert is a microwave tower historian, of sorts, a fact that you could probably detect on your own by reading his words. Enjoy. ---------- On eBay I got a 1947 advertisement for AT&T's first microwave link, giving a nice view of a station and its delay-lens antennas. The image is posted at: homestead.com I've reduced the size slightly to speed uploading. If you want a full-size, higher-resolution image, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you. It'll be a big file, probably more than 500K. Note the large window on the building, suggesting that it was a manned facility. I believe the other microwave stations of that era (WU and U.S. Army) were continuously attended. Also, note the size of the antennas, as indicated by the man working on one. It would be fun to visit the locations of those seven stations. I'd guess that the sites are the present locations of newer AT&T towers, but perhaps some traces of the old structures remain. ...Albert
