While at the local airport I noticed a silo located on an adjacent farm with this antenna configuration, see attachment. Is it a cell site?

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
Possible cellular site?

I don't know it looks kind of strange to be a cell tower site,
maybe a data or paging site of some sort

Looks like a cell site however the picture is so blurry it's hard to tell.

Either that or it is a WISP site. Agreed thought it is pretty blurry, and it makes it pretty hard to tell

Normally the FAA won't allow a radio system that close to an active runway. But unless you file for tower clearance with the FAA, they might not get involved as they are not aware of it.
In this case, the tower is below the required 200 foot trigger point.

It's one of those illicit cell call interception / snooping sites.

Yeah, those are cell antennas.
That's probably not really too far off the ground. Just high enough to do why it's there, cover people at the airport.
