| | | Posted by aurelie Can anyone identify what type of tower this and/or what it might be used for? i know it's not the best picture. the location of the tower leads me to believe that it is no longer being used for anything, and i'd like to climb it next time i get the chance.

If I had to guess, AM radio; it doesn't have any obvious radiating beams/dishes at the top, which would make the mast the radiating device. This will shock/burn you badly if you touch it and it's active! It's also possible that the tower is abandoned, and the business end of it was removed at some point (for example, if the TV station moved to a taller/more centrally located tower during the switch to digital)
