Early on, I discovered towers were a great source of information and you could cultivate a good relationship with the operators if you stayed out of the way and didnt bug them. Fortunately, here in the greater Chciago area, there are a number of towers still in use. CREATE will no doubt change all of that. Several that comes to mind: Grassili - East Chicago Calumet - East Chicago Dolton Joliet There are several others in Chicago proper...i need to consult my CORA map to get the proper names....will do so later when i have time. Two other great towers are Ridgely in Springfield, Il. and Lennox in Mitchell, Il. ed Reply Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join.
