Here is a very historical pic for me. This is the WoodFord (Blue Mtns,NSW) tower. It was one of the first towers i found many years ago. The site is shared with Optus (the 3 longer antennas). VodaFone is the 3 short (medium range) antennas. You can't beat VodaFones coverage in the Blue Mtns. Have a look at my Blue Mtns coverage map to see why....
