West Austin Antenna Farm (or WAAF) is an antenna farm on the west side of Austin, Texas near Loop 360 and Westlake Drive. It is used by stations such as KTBC and KXAN-TV.
Of the eight towers on the hill west of Austin, KXAN's tower is the tallest; it is also the tallest structure in Austin.
In addition to KXAN-TV antenna, the mast incorporates a camera with views of downtown to the east and the hills to the west.

Famous quotes containing the words west, austin and/or farm:
“To have a place full of delights and nothing but delights, which one does not have to explain and defend to people who have ideas unsympathetic to one, it is to economize the forces which keep one from ending like the wisteria, from committing the unpardonable sin of doing things with difficulty.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Certainly, then, ordinary language is not the last word: in
principle it can everywhere be supplemented and improved upon, and superseded. Only remember, it is the first word.”
—John Austin (1911–1960)
“The shifting islands! who would not be willing that his house should be undermined by such a foe! The inhabitant of an island can tell what currents formed the land which he cultivates; and his earth is still being created or destroyed. There before his door, perchance, still empties the stream which brought down the material of his farm ages before, and is still bringing it down or washing it away,—the graceful, gentle robber!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
