[SECC] New 250 foot tower at W8JI

[W5JR - Mike]

I like it!!  Needs some two-way antennas near the top. Maybe a loband loop or two side mounted and a cell platform at about "100" feet. 

To be a "W8JI" site, it needs some companions with wires strung between them, hi hi. 

For several years, the 400' self support tower at the Texas Instruments HQ facility near Dallas "blinked"  T  I  in Morse from the top beacon light. And the tower was within 2 miles of the FCC field office. 

Maybe this one can "blink"  J  I. 

tnx
