Disguised Masts (Video & Photos)

Just sharing another wee short video that I thought may be of interest to some forum members folks. (Ringway Manchester)

Only 4 mins long so not too taxing.(y)

Hope someone finds it of interest.

PS: I do think the tree masts look stupid though, but maybe that's just me. 😊

Oh and please feel free to post any piccies of disguised masts you know of in this thread, I'm sure we'd all love to see them.:cool:

I'll start off the collection wth the Henderson Church in Kilmarnock.
Not really disguised too well, but they do blend in quite well. 😊
 
I don't mind the tree style antennas, but then again i have nothing against the regular kind either. but if it helps to roll out better mobile networks without the "get off my land" types or the corona-5G nutcases whinging about it then i'm all for it.

Yes very true dabigm, some of the tree masts do look ok, but the ones with about 4 branches just look stupid.

Give me a good old three PoW any day.

Just one, that's all I ask for, pretty please. 😊
 
I've been to Henderson Church, what's way more interesting than the disguised antennas is what they have to do internally in these old buildings. Originally there would have been some rickety wooden ladders with various different 'floors' inside the tower all made out of wood and none suitable for modern-day needs.

Therefore it all gets ripped out and sturdy steel platforms and ladders are installed. This was from about halfway up.

Great piccy FOPS, it's kinda the same inside the clock tower of Kilwinning Abbey.

All the antennas are internal there though, but all mounted to rather a lot of scaffolding.

Shame most LAs are so against 5g masts they could throw lots of the objectIons into the long grass by hiding them like this but throw out the whole notion of building a mast
 
Here's my little contribution to some of the gubbins inside Kilwinning Abbey Clock Tower.

Some not too clear, but maybe better than nothing. 😊

I also wasn't aware that there were any microwave links up there.😯
