Final recordings of Fowler, IL microwave reflector station 1990

Official logbook of Fowler, IL microwave reflector station. Someone wrote these down, set the book down, and it stayed there until I came along 36 years later.

Am going to digitize the logbook and then return it for future explorers, DM if you'd like the PDF

Can anyone tell me what those antennas are on there now? They removed all horns and waveguides and ran modern lines up there for these four antennas
