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.
