defensive posturing?

I had heard for a long time that this 100 foot concrete tower, south of Tampico, was built as a surveillance site to guard the nearby Green River Munitions plant from attack during World War 2.It was manned and had radar installed so the popular rumor went and was shutdown when the plant closed in 1945.

 

But alas,all good rumors must come into end.This was built in 1949 by AT&T to bring TV to the masses...

 

I like the rumors much better...
