It was located west of Houlton, one leg ran down by Nickerson lake.  Go 
to http://docs.unh.edu/ME/houl51nw.jpg and the topo map shows the HUGE 
antenna.

It is labeled "Transoceanic Receiving Antenna."  I'm told some of the 
concrete piers are still extant.

If anybody wants more info contact me directly.
