[Lowfer] lofer in newfreedom pa

[riese-k3djc at juno.com]

I will have to get back there and try to get a photo
the mast sure looks like 50 Ft and there is a X on top of
it which would act like a cap hat,, the whole thing is a bit long in
tooth
and rusty,,, as I recall it or he didnt have a strong signal in York
may be 20 miles as the crow flys
interesting what ur mind/eye focuses on ,,, saw it for just a second
and thought,, I know what that is,,, tried to snap it on the ride back
but the camera wouldnt focus
