The KS-15676 horn antennas, by the way, were an engineering marvel. They were heavily optimized to meet some very specific (and unusual) requirements of the long lines network. Aside from having to be physically extremely robust (some were fitted with "blast kits" to withstand the shockwave from a nearby nuclear explosion), they had sufficient side rejection that it was possible to have a relay station sending and receiving on the same frequency at a 90 degree angle.
