Google Earth is our friend.  

I would have never recognized the location, but Google Earth had 
it as a search location entry.

I had visited their TX site, gosh, maybe 25 years ago, 
and I don't remember it quite that way, but maybe I thought
it was laid out differently, or I just thought the 
driveway and building were a little different.  
Could be my mind is just playing tricks with me.

Check out the Google-cam, and see the vines growing up 
the near tower.

As best I remember, it was a sloping wire antenna, some
type of wire log periodic.  The transmitter was a single
Harris 100 kW HF transmitter, model long forgotten.  I 
don't remember it being an auto tune transmitter, but
a preset transmitter.  It was capable of doing a band 
change and back on the air in much less than 30 seconds.  
I had monitored the frequency changes several times 
just to see how quickly they could go from one band to
another.
