Antennae are only found on insects
editSomeone should correct the use of "antennae" in the article. Radio antennas are not spelled that way. Thanks 2600:1700:22F0:59EF:10CA:AB50:2549:E7CE (talk) 22:15, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- Done Great catch! I have corrected it. Thanks! Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:12, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
Microwave level
editIn the article I found "Below the public areas—at 338 m (1,108.9 ft)—is a large white donut-shaped radome containing the structure's UHF transmitters."
Back in the mid 90s, when I was in planning with Unitel, I occasionally went to that level with my work. I have always known it to be the microwave level, with the TV & FM broadcast transmitters further up above the public floors. Back then, there were long haul microwave transmitters behind the radome, along with some transmitters for pagers, etc.. I don't know what's currently there as both long haul microwave and pagers have long been obsolete.
BTW, Unitel was originally CN Telecommunications and CP Telecommunications and then CNCP Telecommunications. I started with CN Telecommunications in May 1972. As a CN employee, I was given a free ticket to go up to the main level of the tower when it opened. 2607:FEA8:4C82:5900:76D4:35FF:FE5B:F5FA (talk) 15:17, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
