Trav,
It's a long walk down from the 102nd floor (our analog transmitter location). I almost had to do that once if you remember the "great tunnel flood". The basement at Sears was filling up with water from the Chicago River and the building told us they could give us about 15 minutes notice that all power would be removed from the building. I was on watch (my turn in the rotation) to shut down the transmitter and all other equipment and try to get out before the shutdown otherwise the long walk down.

Can we have a mod rotate this by any chance?
I mean, My flat panel screen is nice & light & I could pick it up to see it correctly, or just rotate my head a bit, but ya know...

Cool picture Al!
What kind of camera did you use to capture this btw?
It seems to have picked up the color & detail very nicely!

El,
This is a down converted pic from a Canon EOS Rebel Xti with the stock lens. I was shooting at ISO 800 and holding the camera against the window frame so that I wouldn't pick up window dirt and to steady the camera. I have several others that I need to look at more closely.
I have uploaded the rotated version and will try to substitute it later today.

Great photo Al!
I spent my formative years living on a mountain in NH that has a lot of antennas. Your photo made me want to go find my pics of under cast at sunrise on Mt. Washington! There are lots of great photos on the Observatory website like these http://www.mountwashington.org/photo...h=10&year=2007

Elgin,
I posted the rotated picture in my media.
Jenny, I didn't visit Mt. Washington but I did get up to the site near Stowe,Vt. Mt. Mansfield I think. We took a service road to the saddle when the kids were younger.
