I was talking to the tower owner and I think they would welcome any contacts for tower manufacturers that could get them a comparable tower fairly quickly. The specs on this one are : 500ft tall, 36” face, I think about 2” solid steel legs.
Thanks,

Subject: [Wisp] WISPA National Disaster Committee - Seeking Volunteers
The mid-west and east coast have taken several tornado beatings over the last
few weeks, as well as we have seen extensive flooding in the mid-west.
I would say, it is just Spring, but I have never seen a Spring this devastating.
A few weeks ago, at our in-person board meeting, we voted to form a National
Disaster Committee; which passed unanimously.
During this last ‘epidemic’ storm, I contacted WISPA State Coordinators to
assist, if there was any significant damage in their areas.
Fortunately, we are not hearing of any major damage from our members, with the
exception of Hudson Technology Solutions, that lost a tower in El Reno, OK.
I was in touch with State Coordinators over the last few days, in the event
that more WISPA members could have been affected.
I was also in touch with the Missouri WISPA members regarding help for a
‘downed’ WISP in Joplin, MO.
I was impressed with our WISPA members that volunteered to help in the event of
touchdowns in KS, MO and OK:
· Airlink Internet - OK
· BPS Telephone - MO
· Computers & Tele-Comm, Inc. –MO/KS
· Mark Twain Telephone - MO
· Mercury Communications and Construction – MO
· WISPERS ISP – IL
The WISPA National Disaster Committee will create procedures of dealing with
disasters when they affect our members and associated areas.
With the way that Spring of 2011 is lining up, I believe it is important to
establish this committee ASAP.
Please contact me to volunteer for this committee.
Thanks!
