Excellent photo quality.
40m? No insulators on the visible end. Maybe it's a dog run. Nope, doubt they had that in the 40s.

They may have been running a battery set? Maybe no power and you needed an external antenna to pick up stations with them thar radios.

I'd love to have a house built on those principles. Not exactly that one itself, too risky to keep the below-ground gear clean or dry maybe. Looks like rain could enter the door and run inside unless he's got a 4-6" threshold or something.
What it really reminds me of is an old fashioned cellar for storing vittles for the winter doubling as a place to hang out with the little brown jug! X-P

The wires may have been artfully photo-shopped? Don't see any back guy or bent pole from the antenna's catenary. Looks more like a flag pole, heh, heh. Hmmm?  |

That picture is pretty Hi Def for 1940's. Musta been a Kodak slide.
That is too high for a dog run. Prolly 40 feet in the air.

Well, they ain't no feed line in the middle and the line don't continue past the edge of the left tree. No wonder they need the water cooled finals. Inductive coupling [without coils] to a half self-supported antenna. |
