Jonathan Kramer on Wireless Tower Siting » Gallery http://cellularpcs.com Comments on Wireless Tower Siting Issues for the Public, Wireless Planners, and Attorneys Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:48:56 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 A Truly Twisted Cell Tower http://cellularpcs.com/2010/08/01/a-truly-twisted-cell-tower/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-truly-twisted-cell-tower http://cellularpcs.com/2010/08/01/a-truly-twisted-cell-tower/#comments Sun, 01 Aug 2010 22:53:50 +0000 Jonathan Kramer http://cellularpcs.com/?p=400 Attention creative wireless site planners:  A truly twisted cell tower has risen from a mesa in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This uniquely designed multi-carrier cell tower constructed in the Mesa del Sol area in Albuquerque, New Mexico, just south of the airport.

The architect for this site is Dekker/Perich/Sabatini.

This site isn’t quite complete, but it should raise the level of the discussion regarding turning cell sites into artistic visions.

The anchor tenant at the site is Verizon Wireless.  The site can handle up to seven carriers.

I have placed over 100 photos of this site in a dedicated gallery at CellularPCS.com/gallery/

Excellent T-Mobile Camo Site in Piedmont, California

The antennas are hidden behind the faux vents in the bell tower.  The equipment is inside the building.  If I had not had this site pointed out to me by the rightfully proud planners in the City of Piedmont, I never would have guessed it to be a PCS wireless site.

Good job, Piedmont!

Good job, T-Mobile!

I took this photo about 48 hours ago, just before sunset.

This is a spiritual and quiet place (when away from us tourists).

Go.

I was contacted months ago by a French magazine, “LE NOUVEAU MAGAZINE DU PALAIS DE TOKYO” (“The New Magazine of the Palais of Tokyo”) to supply cell site photos for an issue of their magazine about electronic spying.  This one I said yes to!

On June 1, 2009 I received in the mail a couple of copies of the magazine, and found the article by Matt O’dell titled, “Manipulations des esprits mobiles” (translation: “Mobile Mind Control”).

The magazine did a wonderful job with the color separations and the printing in their magazine.

My favorite quote from the Matt’s article is, “One of the most extreme conspiracy beliefs is that the masts are operating as a giant network of mind control weapons: That they are a part of a sinister plan by global governments to control the population.”

Wonderful!   Click on magazine cover to visit their site.

I’ve also added some photos from Ketchikan and Haines, Alaska.
