If war breaks out, I'm heading to one of several we lease space on. I'm sure
the owner won't mind.

There are some amazing Long Lines sites in WA and ID that serve almost no
useful purpose, now that all long distance traffic moves via fiber... The ones
closer to major metro areas have more tenants and more value to their new
owners.
The Long Lines sites that were built solely as a means to get a PTP relay
over a major mountain range are amazing. Built with massive diesel tanks and
ventilation intakes 18' off the ground due to snow pack. These ones have the
original horn antennas and not much else, maybe some VHF/UHF omni radio
repeaters for forestry/national parks.

I have a bunch I took of a Long Lines concrete tower in Springfield, OH
that was being torn down on my FB somewhere.

Some of the old AT&T sites are cool. Hardened bunkers with walls many
feet thick.

Yeah, you wouldn’t want information like this getting out:
http://wikimapia.org/10668587/AT-T-Norway-IL-Class-1-Switching-Center
Not a big secret, since it’s a very distinctive looking tower visible
from 10-20 miles away due to the high ground it sits on. It was also one of
the ground sites for the Air Force 1 secure communications network, I don’t
know if that’s still operational, I think maybe it is.
Last I heard DeKalb, IL is still an active fiber POP. Tower is not
used, but they won’t least space or sell it. It’s right in town and not a very
well kept secret.

It has tons in the midwest, I think I unchecked several sections
before I saved the KML. I was looking only at the Pacific Northwest. Open the
drop-down arrow that is the main category and re-check the other 4 or 5
categories.

I recently came across this KML file online. It's
KML/KMZ format for Google Earth.
I thought I knew where all the notable towers in WA
state were, but turns out I was missing a few on my previously self-made AT&T
Long Lines map. Kudos to whoever put this together.
