Finally managed to get the wedding photos uploaded.  Not sure why it took me so long other than the stack of broken stuff in my workshop.  My wife and I had a great time and were glad we went to witness it.

Here are a couple of shot for the front page and the next post has the gallery.

As most of you know I can’t resist a good antenna tower.  These are the towers on Sandia Crest overlooking Albuquerque, NM.

Looking at the various antennas there are some nice new HDTV antennas in the mix as well as what looks like an fairly old original analog antennas well.  I like the number of ice breaker bars on the structures as well as the heaters around most of the FM antennas.  Looks like there is a bit of snow damage in places that hasn’t been fixed yet this summer.

Looking the other way there were a couple of paragliders enjoying the strong updrafts

And a silly picture of the sign in the general store.

And while we are showing pictures of signs, I liked this one as well—though I wished I had some test equipment to see just how high the noise floor is.
