7 -v. above — WBZ-TV's new Ideco tower at Boston, 1,199 feet above ground (1,349 feet Mean Sea Level). right — Slot antenna will side-mount directly beneath WBZ-TV's present antenna. The super-gain antenna will bolt into the bottom section of the narrow tower top. New Ideco Tower Designed for Future Stacking of Antennas, Future 300-Foot Height Increase "Give us a one-antenna tall tower now, but provide for adding more antennas and another 300 feet of tower later." That was the problem presented to DresserIdeco by WBZ-TV at Boston. The solution is this recently completed guyed tower, carrying WBZTV's channel 4, 6-bay antenna at 1,199 feet above ground (1,349 feet Mean Sea Level) . . . still another over-1, 000-foot Ideco tower. A channel 5 super-gain antenna and a channel 7 slot antenna can be mounted beneath the WBZ-TV antenna later, without disturbing WBZ-TV's antenna and with no modifications to the tower necessary. Likewise, with no modification necessary, the tower can be increased to 1,499 feet (1,649 feet Mean Sea Level) simply by temporarily removing the antennas and adding another 300 feet of tower. This WBZ-TV project is still another demonstration of Dresser-Ideco's ability to solve the unusual in tower design and building problems. This same engineering ability contributes to the soundness and economy of more routine towers, too. So when you start thinking about your new tower . . . both for your present need and for the future, too . . . start planning with Dresser-Ideco.
