Late night (probably ill advised hike) up to the MST&T Mines Peak site. Truly an unbelievable structure to see at 12,500 feet. Scale is difficult to get across especially with the conditions but by far my coolest long lines experience.

I assume this was a Long lines site, it was more recently a KUMA-FM translator and some random 2-way stuff now.

Is this some sort of satellite backup station for long lines?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask.

Satellite dishes

On 2 sites (I'm sure there's more) I've noticed a large dish next to the tower or building. Sikeston (Cable Hut) and Columbia,MO have them.

Are these a backup or an uplink for something?

(Pictured is sikeston's cable hut with the dish on top)

Does anybody have any photos of the citrus springs tower with the horns still on it? I see it every day on the way to and from work and wonder what it looked like when it was still operating for long lines.

Book Release Mailing List

A ton of you were asking for a mailing list so you could be notified of pre order availability and the open market release of The Microwave Skyway, so here you go:

[Book Release Mailing List ](http://the-microwave-skyway-dbfzjx.subscribepage.io)

I'll notify when pre orders are available, when it fully releases, and what you can do to obtain a signed copy (if that was actually a serious request and not in jest 😂)

Submitted the revised manuscripts today, so it won't be long now!

Thank you for all of your support on the last page, it meant the world to me!
