This is a top mounted, elliptically polarized, UHF TRASAR® television antenna in the process of having final test data taken. All ERI top mounted television antennas are provided with dedicated climbing facilities that do not penetrate the radome. This prevents potential contamination or moisture intrusion into the antenna radome which can cause corrosion, impact electrical performance and shorten the antenna’s useful life. This also provides climbers superior access to the beacon and improves safety.
