That is the tower we all used to call Adam's tower after the original owner, Adam Sadlon, who has since passed away. I had not visited there until about a month ago as I was driving past the area, and saw a new 3 story building by Richland Towers where the old original house used to be. The original tower had been considerably reinforced throughout its structure with additional steel while Adam had installed a separate triangular tower in the middle to handle the transmission lines in order to reduce loading on the original tower structure.
At one time WWHT TV68 used to be located, both studios, offices and transmitter on that property, along with about 100 different other customers, the usual repeaters, pagers, etc.
Back in the early WWHT days if you walked in the front door, you would be in the TV studio, and had to be quiet and step gently so as not to shake the cameras. The Uncle Floyd show used to air live from that studio.
Between those days and now RCA, later GE, used the tower as a microwave hop between Manhattan, W 57th St and Hamburg Mountain, where the final hop would go to the satellite earth station. That was for a second diverse digital microwave system between NYC and Vernon Valley. I remember there was some high elevation land in Rockaway Twsp or Jefferson where they paid someone to cut the trees to obtain enough clearance for the hop.
Lately, there are some UHF stations, I think WNJU is correct. I believe one of the Paxson stations, channel 31, was also there a while after 9/11 since I was hired to analyze some interference between a UHF harmonic and a GPS receiver for one of the cellular clients back then. This is near the intersection North of I-280 on Eagle Rock Ave.
WFME, WFMU, along with backup tx's for at least one NYC FM station are near the intersection South of I-280 near Mt Prospect Ave (NJ10). The original WHTZ-FM aka WVNJ-FM was also located there, on the tower next to WFME. I was one of the WVNJ engineers there back in the days when the FCC required someone to inspect the remote transmitters 5 out of 7 days per week. That site worked quite well as WVNJ-FM was one of the stations I could pick up well in parts of central Bucks County, PA.
