Looking North towards the E911 tower from the NOC tower.  (Note: US 29N is on the left) .  The E911 tower at 4.4 miles is just a dark speck on the horizon.  Further to the North is the Gretna Tower at 14.0 miles far into the haze on the horizon.  The Gretna link is a real challenge for a 100Mbps link.  White Oak mountain tower complex includes our tower (circled). The tower at left is a 300' Bell-Atlantic tower.
