my last post on this thread page 2 was back on 5/5/07. I was not aware that it was that far back. Since that time I have made a trip to the mountains
around Waynesboro, Virginia and rented a cabin for 4 days.
While traveling about Waynesboro..I stopped at an Arbys for some fast food and returning to my vehicle I found this antenna just down the block behind
a store. Quickly I took out my camera for some photos.
Here are the links.

This one to the untrained eye just going about town with important stuff like American Idol and the LA Lakers on ones mind would look like a flagpole
and be automatically filtered out as one goes about ones day.
Here is a photo of the trailer hook up going to this antenna.

For those of you not versed in this type of set up this is a commercial hook up..heavy duty hard line. This means professional hook ups by
professionals. Also if you look closely this set up has more than one cable running to it implying multipurpose or multi functional.
Most home antennas...dish or television antennas will have only one hook up or cable running to them. This set up has many.
My question going through my mind is what is the operating frequency range of this set up..bandwidth etc etc. Is this a receiving or
receiving/transmitting set up??
Hoping some of you will be able to shed light on this.
My initial reaction is that this set up is possibly for the multitudes of video cameras that so many citys are wont to set up to monitor thier
populace around major intersections or buisness areas. Digitial signals to and fro these cameras. But then again who knows. but the professionals who
set them up.
Will have another picture soon to also post of the one in the local parks up the road from me also disguised as a flag pole and the trailer deep in
the foilage.
Thanks,
