K-Joy site? You must know Western Technical Services if you used to play
in Orange County. They build steel towers. If you order a mesh dish they
send an unmarked vehicle.

Never heard of them, but that was 40 years ago. We did our own
antennas all of which were on wood poles. Same with everyone else on
Santiago Pk in the late 1960's. Even the Air Force building used
multiple short telephone poles, with one antenna per pole, a really
bad idea. I worked for PMC (Pacific Mobile Comm) in Stanton CA at the
time.

Why would they send an unmarked vehicle to install a mesh dish?

I think (not sure) that I found a recent (4/2009) photo of the PMC
building on Santiago:

Note the large number of wooden poles and outriggers that are still in
use. I was going to mumble something like "nobody mounts dishes on
wood poles", but it seems that there are two in the photo. Sigh. The
wood structure looks much the same as it did 40 years ago minus the
wall of far too closely spaced, intermod generating, antennas.

Recent structures are all steel.
