It looks like that box has a sticker on it that says "THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER" so I would guess it is water telemetry.

Or sewer.

Location is just north of the border at Point Roberts.

Am I close MW ? :D

If you look at the map that antenna is located about 5 or 10 feet north of the border.

It is on the Canadian side.

Which is BS. Try getting a VHF repeater pair above line A. Impossible, unless you're using a 2 watt repeater.

Proving the point that one may be "on top" either literally, or figuratively.

For example, "So am I most of the time" would be literal.
Whereas "but my wife still thinks she is the boss" is figurative.

Either way, she wins.
They always do...

Interesting split... Wonder if they have any issues around paging transmitters?

Since the Google Car photo resolution is too low I wondered what that nice US CBP sign said "...at English Bluff Road, Delta facing Marine Drive, Point Roberts"

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/Warning_sign_at_Point_Roberts.jpg

Now, to see the sign facing Canada... which is probably the same.

Also, I like the tower at the opposite end of the island on the border. A lookout / sighting tower?
