I was down in Panacea, Florida this past weekend and ran across a real estate opportunity which may be of interest to comp.dcom.telecom readers. While trying to locate a sandblast contractor, I came across a microwave tower with a "For Sale " sign posted in front of it. It's a large tower on an acre or so of land. It has at least five antennas/feed horns on it. The sign was gone from the wall of the equipment building but local folks said that it used to say "Southern Bell" on it. The site was maintained, and from the way that the electric meter was spinning, I'd guess that the equipment is currently in use. Panacea is on the Gulf coast about 40 miles south of Tallahassee. The real estate sign has an 800 number on it which I didn't copy down ... but if you ever wanted to own your own microwave facility, come on down to Panacea.
