A '''microwave relay station''' is a site where microwave reception and transmission equipment is installed for the purpose of relaying telephone and television signals across long distances. The most notable usage of this is in the [[wikipedia:AT&T_Corporation|AT&T]] [[Long Lines]] network. These stations are usually located on the tops of hills to maximize their range which is limited by [[wikipedia:Line-of-sight_propagation|line-of-sight propagation]].
