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:
“For some reason a nation feels as shy about admitting that it ever went forth to war for the sake of more wealth as a man would about admitting that he had accepted an invitation just for the sake of the food. This is one of humanity’s most profound imbecilities, as perhaps the only justification for asking one’s fellowmen to endure the horrors of war would be the knowledge that if they did not fight they would starve.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“if you ever, ever, dare
To stop a grizzly bear,
You will never meet another grizzly bear.”
—Mary Austin (1868–1934)
“Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labor, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.”
—Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
