Interesting. And an impressive work of engineering and construction.
Some amateur should buy the site and use the antennas on 40 meters.
As I recall, they were quite effective there.

Radio Moscow in the early 70s must have had some incredible
transmitters and antennas too, since they put some almost
unbelievable field strengths into eastern North America -- enough to
actually overload one of my microphone preamps once when I had a 30'
extension cable plugged in!


With all good wishes,
