Might that be the Tesla Radio Foundation's WOO, 
closed in 1999?  Located at 83 Bayview Ave, 
Bayville, NJ 08721, it served as an HF Coastal Radio Station.

Currently, it serves as the Tesla Radio Club and 
Museum, located at the old WOO Ocean Gate AT&T 
Wireless Transmitting Station site on the shore 
of New Jersey's Barnegat Bay. The 175 acre 
"Antenna Farm" is spread over peninsula at the 
mouth of Toms River bay and over the marshes frequently flooded at high tides.

There is a two story building which housed the 
transmitters, telephone equipment and a 750 kW 
generator. Adjacent is the storage/garage 
building and fuel tank for the generator.

Presently the building is owned by the Berkeley 
Township and leased to Tesla Radio Foundation and 
located in the town of Bayville, Berkeley 
Township.  The town of Ocean Gate is adjacent but 
not part of the Berkeley Township.
