Subject: Communication Towers attacked in WFT
?
All,
I was alerted that a
500¡¯?communication tower hosting the .140 amateur repeater,
the NWS, and other commercial operations had the guy wires
cut, felling the tower in a field in Wichita Falls in the
early morning hours.?
As if that was not enough,
the perpetrators also attacked one set of guys on the 1500¡¯
KFDX Channel 3 tower but were not successful in that effort
- thankfully. A huge loss of life could have resulted in the
catastrophic collapse of any of these guyed verticals.
Consider this an MCARC
alert that communications towers in N. Texas are fair game.
KFDX will likely air a news report on this at 10 pm CST.
Be safe out there.
