[BC] Antenna Question

[RLO2L at aol.com]

Speaking of antenna questions....

Two trips down to Decatur, Illinois and this past weekend to 
Indianapolis I saw along I 55 and I 65, north of Pontiac and north of 
Lebanon, Indiana....

A guyed tower perhaps 50-60' tall with orange balls around the guy 
wires perhaps ten-twenty feet off the ground. At first, I thought it 
might be a NDB antenna as it is about five miles north of the Pontiac 
airport off of
I 55 on the east side of the road.

Does not look like there is much gear at the base of the antenna. Not 
much of an antenna at the top either.

Curious to know what this is for.

Next trip to Decatur in a few weeks, I may take a walk though the 
farmer's field.

It is all out in the open field and several hundred feet off the hi-way.
