[MilCom] Military antenna site

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

A friend of mine called me to look at some pictures of an antenna farm he 
had taken. He wanted to know what ham could afford this.

There are two towers. The first appears to be at least 200 feet tall and is 
unlighted. It has six yagi antenna on it and the tower is rotatable. Four 
yagis appear to be in the 6-8 MHz range and the other two appear to be in 
the 10-15 MHz range. Each antenna is fed with a different feedline that 
appears to be over an inch in diameter. All of the antennas are pointed in 
the same direction. At the time that the picture was taken they appear to 
be pointed to the Middle East. There is a guy point just below each antenna 
that appears to be a bearing for tower rotation.

The second antenna is mounted on a crank up tower that appears to be 75 or 
so feet tall.

This is located in South Carolina just off of State Road 30 near Bozard 
Drive. The coordinates are 33-42-18N, 80-52-30W.

I suspect that this is a military installation. However it is on a farm. 
The only visible buildings are a house and a barn. The antennas are near 
the barn. He said that there is no obvious security other than outside 
cameras on the barn.

This installation went in less than three weeks ago.

Any ideas  as to what the antenna farm is for?

I feel that this is military due to the cost to install such a tall 
rotatable tower and the size of the antennas used. If I remember correctly 
each antenna had six elements and they were braced to the tower with guy 
lines from the tower to each end of the antenna.
