AT&T’s Long Line tower at Etna Green was built in 1956 or 19571. It rises to a height of 333 feet above the rural Indiana countryside2.
Etna Green’s Long Line tower was built to relay a signal from a tower thirty miles northeast in Albion to another twenty-four miles southwest near Culver3. Today, the tower retains its fan-shaped KS-15676 horn antennae and a pair of impressive SHX10As. It towers above the farms that surround it!
Most of AT&T’s Long Line towers were deaccessioned around the year 2000 after the program ended. Today, Etna Green’s is still used by AT&T for cell service, along with Mercury Wireless for broadband internet4.
