Two radio antenna masts in a field. The taller mast, on the right, is a guyed tower with a hexagonal structure at the top. The shorter mast on the left, toward the background, is freestanding.

@mattblaze I had a Mickey Mouse transistor radio as a kid that I'd keep under the pillow to listen to at night -- something of a feat, since it was about an inch and a half thick. Mostly I listened to WIP-AM (which was music then) and KYW (still news after all these years), but I would tune around seeing what I could find. One night I was surprised to hear a Chicago Blackhawks game -- being broadcast from Chicago without a repeater! Overcast nights for the win.
