>>2501173>'d you do a routine checkup or why did you climb the mast? That was an equipment upgrade and installation of 2 microwave dishes on the tower. Also did a router replacement (ran out of ports on the old one) and rebuilt the DC distribution in the rack.
I climb and do rf engineering shit professionally. A lot of the sites I work in have that fallout/urbex vibe. Some sites are real nice and clean, but those are more the exception than the norm.
Pic related is the top of a coal mill. The silos the facility used to store coal in for the boilers was repurposed as a radio site since it offered good coverage to the entire facility. Behind me in this pic is 3 racks of radios/routers/combiners/duplexers/etc.
