Thought I was looking at Kingda Ka there for a second. Just wow

Yes, that's North Shore ARC's repeater. Poor tower folded like a cheap suit!

That's just the "nightly maintenance mode" technique. Makes it easier to repair the top stuff without climbing!

In all seriousness though, what hit it? Lightning, a tornado?

It works on the same principal as a folded dipole.

It was an EF2 Tornado that went through Uxbridge. Look on the map NW of the tower site. You will see the proximity of the tower to Uxbridge.

MEGA OUCH! That will end up being a total replacement job in my book... Poor tower...

Thanks. I hope it gets repaired and upright again quickly for them!

Ham radio. "When all else fails."

I know it was some nasty storms, and glad that tower didn't land on anyone. Hopefully they get it back up soon.
