The hurricane strength one in the Florida keys is always striking

@[email protected] One of at least two very interesting former Long Lines towers in that area! The other is the troposcatter installation south of Florida City, which was (until surprisingly recently) the main telecom link between the US and Cuba. I believe this was the only commercial (as opposed to military or experimental) link to use troposcatter. I think that site (which also had the horn antennas) was also the next hop from the tower you posted.
