Re: Sears Tower Getting Ready to put Antenna Back

While I was on the roof (109th floor) with the crew they were reviewing the pictures for the new install and showed us some of the interconnect hardware. The new antenna is using the 8" hardline coax instead of the 6". It is less lossy at the higher frequencies.
