locations in the city.
Gary,
Tower or repeater sites are gold today with the influx of cell phones where a
provider will pay $20k/yr for a single site.
Also, the insurance influences a tower owner for the more he/she has the higher
the insurance.
Also, few tower owners want to bother with a non-paying customer.
The FCC and FAA get real upset with towers that have dead or defective tower
lights. This will get their attention real quick. The station off the air
only upsets the tower/radio stn owners.

You can scrape a tiny piece of the outer jacket off at the connector take
a peek. If the jumper is going to be outside, that area will need to be
weatherproofed anyway.
The 555 is dedicated as a timing device.
When you work with it for any amount of time you come to
realize the design and layout is very practical and the chip
is now considered an industry work-horse. But it can be
used in linear applications... so never say never.

Depends on what you're doing.
The latest trick around here is to tie on to power poles and pull them over
to steal the aluminum wiring and the pole pig. Personally, I don't think $50
