This was made with a DSLR and a 24mm shifting lens.
Through most of he 20th century, AT&T operated a "radiotelephone" service for vessels on the high seas. Ships could contact an operator by shortwave radio to be connected with any landline telephone number they wished.
The North Atlantic station, callsign WOO, occupied expansive "antenna farms" in marshlands near the shore in central New Jersey.
Rendered obsolete by satellites, the service ceased operation on November 9, 1999.
