Yes, the two down by the satellite dish.

 

Think I found out what they are, the two of them are RMTU480 Mobile Tower Unit manufactured by US Tower. The outriggers are only for support and not part of the antenna. They can extend up to 80 feet and only take a half hour to set up, I want one!

Ray,
To make it a little easier;



The towers on the very right?  Does look like mobile HF stuff.  Probably folds up on the trailers.

The possibility of reoccupation of Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan has been in the news lately. Been looking at the current conditions and if you look at this video at just about 44 seconds in you can see the ground radio facilities and the four towers that have the air to ground stuff and other assorted communications antennas. My question is that there are two what appear to be trailer mounted vertical antennas  with there own building located just below the air band building. Anyone have any idea what they are or what they were used for? Looking at the spreaders at the base of the towers I am speculating that they were intended as part of a HF installation?

 

The video can be seen at:
