MN Stealth tower contract awarded

[scannerfreak]

What’s tall and green but turns blue in the sun and sticks out like a sore thumb?

The answer, some residents of Afton are afraid, will be the Washington County stealth communications tower, destined for installation at 15326 Afton Hills Court.

Washington County commissioners voted at their meeting Oct. 7 to award the contract valued at $102,433 to Sabre Towers and Poles, Inc., based in Sioux City, Iowa.

The 88-foot stealth tower is designed to resemble a pine tree and will house equipment enabling the Washington County sheriff’s department’s new 800-megahertz system to go live. Construction is scheduled to begin next month.

These are actually kind of common. Some are more convincing than others.

Another belly laugh! One in particular comes to mind, the cell tower atop Madison Hill in Clark NJ a stone's throw from exit 135 on the Parkway. I call it Lonesome Pine, the tallest tree and only "pine" for miles around. A sore thumb is the least of your worries when you get your hand stuck in a 10 ton press.
