Alltel microwave installation along the I-80 corridor.
This consisted of replacing some of the older antennas that I and some other contractors installed in 1997/98/99 for Western
Wireless.
The new antennas consist of 10' - 12' RFS Ultra High Performance dual feed dishes and some standard dual feed HP's. Radio's
were increased to a 12 DS3 capability. Additional waveguide was installed to new antennas that had dual feedhorn specs.

There wasn't any room to rig the this new 10' RFS antenna
since all the old ones were still in the compound so this had to
be picked from our trailer. A little bit of simple rigging took care
of this little hurdle.

A general site view about 30 minutes before
we flew this antenna. Winds were already
starting to pick up. It just made it a little more
of a challenge.

The last of the 12' HP's going up.
These weigh in approximately 950lbs.

The winds really started playing hell w/
this install. Damn the torpedo's, lets get
a stiffarm's on her and call it a day, we'll
get the other 2 tomorrow.
All went well in the end no one hurt
and no damage to the antennas.
