Forgot to post this last month, but there is a abandoned huge 32m satellite dish sitting in the Azores, with nature slowly reclaiming it with weeds and moss (as is everything in the Azores)
You can see a very similar (likely the same model) still being used in Pakistan for PTCL here on google maps

The nameplate on the dish, I would love to know what the story on this dish. I guess it became defunct when subsea optical cables landed on the Azores (the photo here has been altered a bit to make it easier to read)
