Hi all,
I just became aware of a new antenna tower being built at Morris County Communications Center. Anyone know what this will be used for? I am guessing better reception, obviously, and possibly used for a new dispatch band eventually. Thanks!

The 150 ft tower is replacing the existing 100 ft. There will be cell carriers on it also as some panel antennas are already mounted at the 120 ft level.

It's certainly an eye full when your coming up the hill. But if it's needed for Public Safety I'm all for it. If this help's the emergency services talk to the county and each other, than it's a non-starter!
