microwave tower / microwave transmission, radio broadcasting station, radio broadcasting tower

Home to a large number of transmission antennas due to the fact that this site lies just to the east of the 13000-square-mile National Radio Quiet Zone established in 1958 to protect the radio telescopes operated by NRAO in Green Bank, WV and the radio receiving facilities of the US Navy in Sugar Grove, WV.
The power of transmissions in the radio quiet zone is restricted, so major broadcasters in the Charlottesville area located their antennas here.
