Description

Three concrete foot blocks for a 400’ tall, triangular lattice mast assigned as mast 11 (the 1914 antenna’s masts were masts 1-10) of the six new 1923-4 antenna extension array supports. The bases are arranged in a triangle on a shallow platform cut into the hillside. Each footpad measures 2.5m square by 0.2m high and has a central rectangular depression within which eight protruding steel bolts are set for the securing of the mast feet.
