N0RQ/KC5POV Tower Page 7

Sept 21, 2002: 
TOWER DAY! (continued):
The view from 70'

Looking down: ground crew and crane op.

(The pictures from 70' up on this page were taken with a 50mm (normal) lens -- no exaggerating the distance with a wide-angle lens!)

Looking SE.

Looking S toward McKinney, Plano, Allen, and Dallas, TX.  The big tree on the left is a big old (OLD) pecan.

Looking SW, towards west McKinney, and much farther away, Ft. Worth.  The building is our chicken/guinea house.

Looking W toward the big (not!) town of Melissa.

Our property is fairly high, and the ground is either even or slopes down slightly as it goes away from us.

There are 2 water towers in the picture.  The tan one is easily seen on the left, but the white one near the middle is harder to see.  That one holds the 443.200 MHz repeater and W5MRC-15 APRS digipeater on 144.390 MHz.

The view from the front.

That's the last picture.  I hope part of this was either helpful or enjoyable for you.

Page 8, the last page, has no pictures but does give some on-the-air results, comments, links, etc.
