If you did not know the tower that the 146.88 repeater is on now is in the same location as the tower that collapsed.

Thanks, very interesting.

I remember the Senior Road collapse…. about 1985…… a nightmare.  And  about 10 years later the KNOE  tower.

I have been a follower of "Practical Engineering" on YouTube for years. He just posted a great video discussing the engineering of large antenna towers (like the one supporting the 146.94MHz and 146.88MHz repeaters here in town). Great video, enjoy:
