Lenox was an unmanned auxiliary repeater station along the AT&T Long Lines microwave route spanning from Hillsboro, Missouri, to Dallas, Texas. It is located on Route C in its namesake, an unincorporated community in Dent County located about 12 miles west of the county seat, Salem.

The site consists of a 1,256-square-foot, semi-hardened building and a 215-foot, self-supported lattice tower. The four KS-15676 horn-reflector antennas that would’ve originally been found atop the tower have since been removed, replaced with four shrouded parabolic antennas.

Currently the site is used as a microwave repeater in the Missouri StateWide Interoperability Network (MOSWIN) public safety radio system. As with other MOSWIN sites, Lenox was formerly owned by McCullough Comsites following AT&T’s 1999 sale of its microwave relay sites. According to the archived site page from McCullough’s website, the site sits on an acre lot.
