Seek "New" Lenawee County MPSCS data.

I read in the paper a couple of months ago that they were constructing a new MPSCS 300 ft tower "on the north side of Tecumseh." This is for fill-in of Lenawee County's impending migration to the system.

I find no such project within the city limits. Is it possible that this was misquoted as the media likes to do , and that this tower is in Tecumseh Township north of the city?

If so, does anybody know where this might be?

It's supposed to be out by Macon Hwy. near Myers Airport.

I am sure there will be more towers, as the county's plans get closer to completion.

I just checked the area from Tecumseh-Clinton Rd and Macon Hwy, north on Macon to Billmyer Hwy outside the city and can see no signs of tower site construction in any of the fields. Either I am looking in the wrong place or construction has not commenced.

According to this article it's supposed to be south of Tecumseh at the Road Commission.

Thank you for that information and I have read that article, but what's confusing is I've also read another article that indicates that the tower will be located on the North side of Tecumseh. There are no signs of construction at either site.

I take that back and eat my words there is a brand new tower at the road commission site on the South side of Tecumseh, and I'm looking at it right now.

New Lenawee County MPSCS TOWER.

I'll post a picture of it if this forum were to allow it.

If you can find a third party photo hosting service that will allow embedding of images, you can post the photo of the tower that way.

 

[Robotech2112]

Thanks. I'll disregard for now.

Does the tower have any black or white round microwave dishes on it yet?

 

[Robotech2112]

No, just 3 vertical fiberglass masts near the top, it looks like it was just installed last week. When I saw it the control building at the base of the tower has not even been installed yet nor has the concrete base for said building even been poured. Tecumseh PD and fire are not going to have any problems getting into this site with their portables even in a basement. This will be a nice site.

Jim,

How tall is this new tower?

 

[Robotech2112]

Just guessing when Visually comparing it to the nearby road commission tower... I'd say 300'

 

[N8DRC]

There is another tower on m156 at the other road commission building. We were checking it out today no microwave antennas on it yet.

Lenawee County and the state of Michigan were looking at placing the tower in the vicinity of Lime Creek Road and Munson Hwy, which is also known as Lime Creek. Maybe they chose the road commission site as a better alternative?

Some Pictures of the Tecumseh Site Lenawee / MPSCS

Taken Dec 2018. This site oriented the sideways pictures that way. Probably prefers landscape over portrait.

 

[Robotech2112]

A chain link fence has now been added around the structure and the concrete pads.

 

[Robotech2112]

I just drove by this tower site there are no updates since last post.

Well I was thinking of giving my dad my 325p2 and just using an analog scanner until I can get a better one since he lives in Swanton. From what I am seeing this might not be such a good idea. Am I correct in thinking Adrian will be switching to digital and quite possibly encrypted by next year? It would be a shame if I spent a bunch of money on a new scanner and they encrypted the local fire and police. Is there any way to stay informed about what they intend to do?
