Here is a pic of the blank head frame... I thought this might have been installed as an Omni site due to the omni antenna supports that have been installed on the head frame but.... the site did become a short rang 3 celled tower after all!

Another side shot. You can see the Air con units and on the far left the new antenner mounts.

The antenna mount next to the comms box. This site should be a short range, 2 antenner per cell, 3 celled site.

The second antenna mount on the front of the building. The large one the the far left should be the Microwave link dish. Which will probably link to the main Mt Gravatt site.
