Parking Structure Lightpole Array

    Here [are] shots of the parking structure lightpoles array.

    All of the lightpoles were electrically connected with a conduit. [Below] you can see half of them. They were on the top of a 4 story parking structure.

    You can’t see it, but we used a short, thin, cliplead to go to the spigot for the ground. We checked with an ohmmeter to insure there was an electrical connection - there was. The other connection was to the screw on the lightpole - I think you can see that.

    We made one contact, with a 4o, he got our call, and when I gave him a 51 the pileup overwhelmed him and he went on. I didn’t log it, so this was considered a miss by John and me.
