Tower & CM-1110

Pete, have been out of town for a while. Was actually in KY at the main antenna test location, and climbed above the top of the tower a few times. Above the top, to be explained later.

Please, feel free to update on your antenna work.

----------------------

In the meantime, this is an image taken in 2009 of the main tower (lower part shown in Post #1) as it has stood since I personally erected/installed in the early 1970's. The tower and antennas were largely ignored all those years, (meaning almost no maintenance), although they reliably provided TV reception for my parents.

The large VHF antenna is a Channel Master Quantum CM-1110.

The plastic bucket lodged in the tower was there temporarily for convenience to hold tools and such. The photo was taken just before the CM-1100 was lowered to the ground.

Since that time in 2009, there have been several different antennas residing above the tower top, or near the top of the tower. Maybe later can show some of the other antenna arrangements.
