Over a period of years, all of us have witnessed the build out of America's wireless industry right in our back yards as it defines the leading edge (or should I say, bleeding edge) of communications and information dissemination. I have been a wireless communications enthusiast since the early 1980's and have been adept at identifying all types of communications equipment (antenna's, towers, etc.). I finally decided to just start taking pictures of all the sites I come across on a regular basis . Besides, it's related to my field of work, so why not share it, right?
