Summary
Description Radio towers on Sandia Peak - closeup.jpg |
English:
A variety of radio antennas on
Sandia peak
, near
Albuquerque, New Mexico
. Radio transmitting antennas are often located on the highest geographical point in the area, such as mountain peaks, to give them the maximum transmission range, resulting in
antenna farms
like this. The vertical rods are mainly
whip antennas
, often base station antennas used by dispatchers for
land mobile radio systems
for fire, police, ambulance, taxi, and delivery services. The multiple identical antennas strung in a vertical line along towers are VHF
collinear array
broadcasting antennas for FM and television stations. The large cylindrical antennas are shrouded
parabolic dishes
used for point-to-point
microwave relay
links for internet and telephone companies.
