Antenna (tower) ID help?

[whooey]

This guy lives down the road from my brother. He has a tower in his back yard, and as a new ham I am curious.

I was wondering if any of you could ID this antenna, its HUGE for a neighborhood antenna IMO. First pic is the Google street view, the second pic is from my brothers back yard, 1800ft away per Google maps.

Thanks for any input!

It has a large VHF/UHF combo TV antenna, a large single channel TV or FM antenna and a small mystery vertical antenna. Need a better pic.

In my old days in the mid 70's I put up several like that it looks 100 feet to 120 feet rohn 25 tower with 2 tv antennas and a CB antenna on top. The 2nd picture looks more like a 2way site not enough antennas for a cell site but a close up of both would tell more.

Thank you for your replies, I'll see if I can get a better pic.

Well, assuming that this is somewhere around the Gainesville, FL area, I know for a fact it's not one I put up! I used to own "Antennas Unlimited" there in Gainesville about four decades ago and put up many hundreds of TV antenna towers around a four county area. Typically those were 50' Rohn 20G packages. The tallest one we put up was a 150' Rohn 25G. The customer wanted a Mosley CL-39-M Tri-Bander on it. :wink:

It is interesting that it is painted red/white. That's not something usually seen on such a relatively "short" tower.

What kind of building is at the base? And definitely need a better pic...

Google Streetview

This may seem far fetched, but does Google Street View go down that street?

 

[buddrousa]

Google Street View is from 2011 and no tower is seen on SW 107

I apologize, I should have been more specific. The neighborhood is off 107th, the actual tower is off SW 99th PL the yellow looking trailer roof.

The top pic is actually a screen shot off goggle street view.

This maybe a smarty- suggestion, but why not just walk up to the people and ask them about their tower. I have never met a soul who wasn't interested in describing their antennas to someone genuinely interested in them.
