I don't have the ham radio to go with it, but this house like many down here was built when that was a more popular (and actually necessary) way to communicate. I mention that because, like many of my neighbors, I have a large triangular steel antenna next to my house. It reaches to the roof (one of the easy ways to climb up there) when not in use, and has a crank which extends the center section up to be about four stories tall. No one I know has a ham radio here anymore but a lot of us have the antennas.

I had to take the photo four time because the humidity is so high that the first ones were too fogged up to see much of anything.
