A couple hundred feet is taller than most (all?) cell towers. Nextel used to boast about having the tallest towers, around 110 feet max. Sprint's towers were the shortest before Nextel bought them at around 60 feet. This is why Sprint's signal really sucked balls before Nextel bought them out. One of the reason they don't make them much higher is because, if they are over a certain height they have to get special permits and have to notify the FAA. -- Chris W KE5GIX Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want One stop wish list for any gift, from anywhere, for any occasion! http://thewishzone.com |
