Towering Resources

January 12, 2006

IN CASE YOU ARE UNAWARE of them, there are a couple of places on the Internet where people interested in the tower industry can gather and meet.

One popular place online is hosted by Yahoo! and is simply called the Tower Climbers Group. The Yahoo! Tower Climbers Group was started in early 2002 and now boasts more than 520 members. The site’s most valuable feature is its bulletin board and E-mail discussion group. Participants can discuss various matters facing the tower industry. The site also has a nice selection of interesting links and a sizable database of tower photos.

Another web site where tower construction personnel can gather information is called WirelessEstimator.com. The site contains has useful links and interesting information. It too has a bulletin board where people can ask questions and share information.

Both web sites appear to fill a void that the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) does not already satisfy. NATE doesn’t have a bulletin board or online forum for members to swap information and get immediate answers to their questions. ■
