US30 and Kane Rd. between Waterman and Shabbona. Just across the RR tracks.
Two self supporters at the site. I think there’s maybe CenturyLink fiber there? I should be able to figure out from licenses which cellcos are on those towers. Would ATS be Atlantic Tower Services?

They looked like sheets of drywall, but actually I’d estimate they were around 3x5 feet. Almost as tall as the tower guy installing one of them. 3 arrays, each consisting of 3 of these panels. I’ve never seen such big antennas. They were putting them fairly low on the tower, maybe because of windload? I didn’t stop to take photos, I didn’t want them calling the police on me thinking I was a terrorist or something. But from my description, does anybody have a guess what these were? This was halfway between 2 small towns in a rural area, next to a state route and a railroad track (not commuter). Could these be some sort of multiband 5G antenna, covering all the low and mid bands? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
