Broken antenna

Do you guys think the antenna should still work ? Don’t mind the antenna being a bit German 😂

What kind of antenna is this? (Nevada USA)

Well, as the title suggests: What are they? They have the size and shape of a cellphone antenna but look like they could be uhf/vhf? I found them stashed between some boulders about 1/4 mile from an antenna farm that has every type of transmission on it to include FAA radar. Any ideas what they're for or how old they are? Thanks!

Homemade?

I happened across this car at the store with a mobile antenna. Couldn't find any label on it. Custom build? What band might it operate in?

Empire State Building climbers, RF burns?

Two people climbed the Empire State Building antenna this week... wondering if there are still active VHF or UHF TV antennas at the top or have they all moved to One World Trade Center? They went past the FM master antenna and continued climbing to the very top. Crazy

Mysterious Antenna

Hi guys, it's not the first time that i see this type of antenna or possible light sensor in cell tower sites, sometimes it has the shape of a sphere and in other sites, like in this picture. This is located in Italy, in Emiglia Romagna

Someone knows the reason for it and what is it used for in this sites, thank you.

Tower at the Substation

Took these photos a bit ago and wanted to share here, it’s located in Keavy, KY area. I actually saw it while I was taking a detour to London.

I do wonder if it’s still being used now? (It likely is) But it’s definitely part of a point-to-point communications link of whatever company owns this substation. If anyone has the specifics on this do let me know, I don’t believe I’ve seen a tower in a station like this before.

What are these antennas in radomes?

Sorry about the bad picture, but spotted these on a microwave link heavy, mast.

Antenna mast?

Was this for mounting antennas or lights? Maybe homemade, but check out the necked down section of the bottom two segments. What were they originally? About 40 ft long.

Anybody know what this is?

In a vehicle that’s already got a 5g/LTE modem and a starlink and all the stuff.
