Hi
I live in the UK and was for over 20 years a
service engineer
with Pye Telecom. We had a lot of commercial users
base radio
gear on top of high rise blocks of flats, typicly
23 floors, about
230 feet high. The radios were usualy located
in an anti room
by the lift motor room, and were mounted in 6 foot
19 inch racks
The radios were contolled over leased private
telephone lines.
On one block of flates, St Georges Heights, due to
vandalism
we had a fibre glass hut put on the actual roof and
moved the radios into that. It was great fun watching a 240 foot crane
lower
the hut onto the roof. I remember one night getting
a call from the
caretaker saying the hut had been broken into. I
arrived to find
that some kind person had dropped a TX unit
weighing around
30 pounds off the roof, 235 feet straight down,
needless to say it was not repairable. Oh they were the days :-)
