The remains of shortwave radio station WOO — for decades the Atlantic coast hub of American Telephone & Telegraph’s high seas radio service — will likely disappear in the coming weeks.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with contractor Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure Inc., plans to remove more than 500 antennas and poles that stud 222 acres of salt marsh on New Jersey’s Barnegat Bay.

Too bad, but at least KPH, RCA's equivalent facility on the west coast, is still there.

A toob worthy of an engine hoist.

I bet all the really good stuff went away years ago and all that's left is the junk
