[TowerTalk] Cellular fiasco

[K7GCO@aol.com]

   Tell me where I can get one of them Cell Phone towers surplused due to 
damage or something.  You could build a shack on top and save on coax and 
it's losses.  I''ll gladly spend the money for the concrete.  I'd like to get 
some of those 100' tapered metal poles they are using for lights etc

 Down the road is a new cellular tower - blinking strobe at night sorta
 ruins the rural ambiance.  Hasn't been there long - heard today that
 after $400,000 to get it up, it's coming down!  Seems that it's "not
 quite close enough to the interstate."  I understand that the guy that
 decided where to place it is no longer with the company.  Oh well, I
 guess that's why cellular bills are what they are.  Moral - be really
 sure where you want your tower before you install it - especially those
 140 ft telephone poles!  HI
