Exactly, cellular is cellular, laid out in cells, they want to be 100 to 250
feet above ground, no higher or all you accomplish is to overshoot your cell
and interfere with the next cell. 100-250 feet is the prime real estate.
Then paging and 2way at the top. Maybe backhaul dishes around 100 feet.
Dreams of filling the entire 500 feet with cellular arrays are not
realistic. Unless they think they can get an FM station as a tenant.

They may also be thinking they can make a lot more money with cell
stuff being added later, so maybe find some info relaying how not much
cell gear will go that high in your area. Basically, the top section
is not a big money maker for them.

We have an ideal tower location with nothing else really close that we can
use. 500+ guyed tower, with the upper 150 feet and lower 100 feet

has
a decent wind load on it.
It’s the only tower this family owns and they don’t really understand
WISPs.
I gave examples of American Tower 4WISP pricing and the yada yada on our
equipment being light etc. etc.
Their shot across the bow is $ 1500/month for 6 sectors at 350feet and 2
BHs
around 60 feet.
I have to build a strong case to submit for the executor of an estate to
pass upstream.
What is the typical weight of a “standard” cell company array, including
the
out-riggers, etc.? Usually they have 3 good size sectors on each side. I
want to contrast that to our equipment
