Armstrong Tower

It is owned by Alpine Tower Company and managed by CSC Management, LLC,[1] both owned by Charles E. Sackermann, Jr.[2] The tower is the permanent transmitter site for locally based experimental station WA2XMN and Fairleigh Dickinson University's educational FM station WFDU, in additional to numerous directional radio services (including as a cell site).

[4] The tower was originally constructed by inventor Edwin Howard Armstrong in 1938 for developmental activities that led to modern FM radio.

[5][6] At the tower base is a building originally used for research by Armstrong, which still has the W2XMN call sign engraved above its main entrance.

This building currently houses the Armstrong Field Laboratory, and serves as a museum containing artifacts from the development of FM radio technology.

[7] The structure was also used as a temporary transmitter site for some of New York City's television stations after the collapse of the World Trade Center, including its transmitting antenna, following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
