Central N [1] antenna is located behind the Magnolia Water office on West Union Street on the old Entergy tower. The antenna is a DB228 at approximately 200'.

The old Entergy tower also hosts Magnolia FD, CCAS-D, Magnolia HAM club (147.1050 TPL 100.0), South Arkansas Transit, and the county road department.

Central E is located in the Calhoun community on the Lion Oil tower [2] at approximately 400' (DB224). The tower is located inside the Lion Oil facility on Columbia 25 South.

The Lion Oil tower hosts many systems and a wide variety of technologies, including systems that do not require licenses. This site also contains a voting receiver for the Columbia County Firefighter's Association.

Central S is located at Columbia Road 24 and Highway 160 [3] on the Macedonia-Dorcheat water tank.

Central N and Central S are IPSC linked by Motorola Canopies while Central N and Central E are IPSC linked by Cambiums (I believe ePMP Force 300-25).
