Here are a couple of pictures from sites I oversee in Chicagoland.
The first is of WERV(FM) in Aurora, Ill., at dusk on a very cold winter’s eve. We were leavin’ the light on at the transmitter shack!
The second is a creepy shot from our transmitter site for WCCQ(FM) in Joliet, Ill. The day had been hot and stormy and when I changed it to black and white, the picture looked downright post-apocalyptic. Note the moon off to the right. This tower sits on the site of a Scott’s Mulch and soil distribution plant in Channahon, Ill.
