Alltel Tower

11/08/2002

The new Altel tower is in its beginning stages. The first picture shows the base hole which was 28ft deep and around 6 to 7 ft. across. The last few feet was sand. When the original core sample was taken they hit water at 20ft.

It took 45 cubic yards of cement to fill the hole and to form the base. The approximate weight of the cement is 172,500 lbs.

The tower will be put up in three 50 ft. sections for a total height of 150 ft. It will be a flag pole type with no guy wires.

There will be a cinder block building just to the north of the tower with building and tower enclosed inside a chain link fence. The tower is located on the S. E. corner of the Thomas Implement lot, right next to the Veterinary wood fence.

Boy is this nice. We have yet to find a place in Cimarron where we do not have reception.
