UNDER the KCPT TV tower

Post by ramseym_com »

I stopped by the KCPT studios the other day for a meeting. During the tour of the TV station, we went outside under the TV/radio tower …so of course i whipped out my iPhone and took this photo and this short video. This perspective of the tower + metal construction is impressive! I remember walking under it and looking up and saying, “WHOA, this is awesome!”

(the picture + photo were taken with my iPhone ...i wished I had my nice video camera and DSLR)

Your iPhone did a good job. Nice blue sky, too!

Pretty cool.  I would get a huge kick out of climbing to the top of that.

Allegedly, my Uncle made it about a third of the way up with some friends in High School, but they decided that was high enough.

That can be a very dangerous spot in the winter due to falling ice.

I've always wondered why they don't hook the tower up to some low current juice to keep it warm enough so ice couldn't form on it.

I'm not sure if this is true, but a friend of mine talked to a maintenance man there once and said a kid climbed all the way to the top and wrote his name close to the top...he made it down without any issues or anyone knowing....but he probably got a HUGE dose of radiation from being up there.
