Wow, this tower is awesome. I do tall tower work, and i have been on much taller than this, but this tower would be freakin awesome to climb!
There will still be over the air broadcasts. Both analog and digital. The only thing going off air is analog Television. Analog radio broadcasts will still be here.

Isn’t the day of “no over the air” broadcasts approaching with this digital bullshit?

Personally, I’m looking forward to the day when I can no longer receive broadcasts on my tv. It means we are truly moving into the age of deindustrialization.

i know a guy who wanted to petition the city to put a large, decorative olive on one of the pointy bits, as if it were a giant martini garnish.

Nice antenna map. My old Honda FM radio would only receive KFOG on all dial settings whenever I was within two miles of this thing. Good times

OK, now, this is friggin’ cool.

Thanks for making sure to post that the tour these were taken on was authorized… I know there’s a few of us who probably would’ve lost sleep tonight if we didn’t know that.
