Something I ran across just outside of Burleson, TX, along I-35. It looks like some kind of shortwave broadcast antenna, but I can't find it listed anywhere. There are no buildings immediately adjacent to it. There are 3 open feedline points along the array. Any idea what it is???

Looks like shortwave to me. I have seen or heard this talked about before.

Most likely A.M. where as the actual towers are loaded as well.

707,
I checked with a friend, and he thought they were TX and RX antennas for shortwave freqs.Omnidirectional dipoles.
