[Milsurplus] Navy VLF transmitter tower construction

[Gene Smar]

In the 1970s in NE PA (Slatington area) where I lived at the time, AT&T was installing microwave relay towers, prolly for DOD. It was reported in the local papers that the ironworkers were from the Mowhawk Nation, from upstate New York.

Have you ever heard anything like that?https://www.navy-radio.com/commsta/guardamar.htm
I know that Mohawk Indians were famous for working on skyscrapers and bridges in the US and Canada but they were from the northeast and not Oklahoma.
