Outstanding T-Mobile Church Site1301 viewsThis is a photograph of T-Mobile's outstanding installation in the exiting bell tower of the Piedmont Community Church in Piedmont, California. The antennas are hidden behind the faux vents. T-Mobile originally proposed a faux stained-glass design, but the City's planners wisely opted for the vent design far more in keeping with the normal look of a bell tower.Jun 21, 2010

Yet another ____ Pole1121 viewsOnce again we have a flag pole antenna site missing an important element: The Flag! This is a Cricket site in Spring Valley, California. Notice that the GPS antenna is visible above the CMU wall enclosing the BTS cabinets; it's a bad design, and unnecessary.Apr 03, 2010

Tower Towers Over the Santa Fe Plaza398 viewsTowering over the historic Santa Fe Plaza (and just about everything else in the area), this awful pole is about as out of place as a tower can be. So sad. Thanks to Alltel for contributing to the spoiling of the historic Santa Fe Plaza area.Jan 01, 2010

Los Alamos, New Mexico340 viewsThis is a monopole owned by Alltel, and is located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. This tower is fairly close to the airport, so that's why you see an aircraft warning light on the top. Jan 01, 2010

Sickly Monopine1169 viewsOff of the Old Las Vegas Highway outside of Santa Fe, this poorly designed monopine stands out like the sore thumb it is. The branch coverage, branch count, and panel antenna socks are inferior. A properly designed and executed monopine would not all the antenna stand-off arms to be seen, much less be painted a highly visible green.
By the way, in this case, Las Vegas refers to Las Vegas, New Mexico, rather than to Lost Wages, Nevada.Jan 01, 2010

Monorock, Interrupted1174 viewsSprint has demonstrated that it can build very nice monorock sites. This isn't one of those good sites.
