well the way things vanish around here I wouldnt be surprised to see a tower in someones pickup
Or on a trailer on the back of someone's pickup or SUV. I recently watched a new cell site go up and they brought the pieces of the tower in on 2 trailers on the backs of 2 1 ton pickups and set it up with a fairly `smallish' self-propeled `crane' rig. Had everything up in just over 2 days! I'm glad it isn't in *my* `back forty'! (About 4 years ago we were approached by a company wanting to put up a site and they couldn't give us a good enough guarranty that they wouldn't `swamp' us, RF-wise, so we told them no. About a year later I ran across someone who had gone ahead and allowed a similar company to put up one and after it was up and operating they started having wierd things happening. They were *still* dealing with getting some of the stuff fixed another year later and just finally managed to sell out and move to a new place about 3 months ago. They are now working to get their dairy farm back up and running but don't know if they are going to succede since they are having to rebuild their entire herd almost from `scratch'.)
