I forget what the company was called, but I know they were installing for AT&T and were about 30 minutes away. Nice guys.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

I'm going to guess the tower was a former AT&T long lines tower by the look of it.

No it was an old Microwave tower from WWII.

My guess is that they're all gone. Don't know that for sure though. The only ACA siren left there is an Allertor.

I knew that this siren was one day going to be saved. That there is a piece of history.

Wow. I didn't know there were square horn Hurricanes... It's a very interesting piece and I too can't wait to hear it!
