WB4APR area APRS digipeater temporarily lost 13 November 1999. Congress has allowed a few of the towers to remain for future local municipal, amateur radio, and possible commericial use. Click on the images to see a blown-up view.
Charges blow, towers start to lean, then faster, then smoke and dust.
One tower of the four remain on the horizon. The towers were laid on their sides with explosives at their bases. The remaining 300-foot tower is in the background. The taller towers will be collapsed onto themselves vertically due to lack of a ground clearance radius of the towers' height. The WB4APR APRS digipeater hardline and antenna lie with the top of the tower, which imbedded itself 2 feet in the ground after the 300-foot fall.
