the antennas were not virgins, 125 meters, they were used to coordinate hundreds of clocks, thanks to its atomic clock

Spotted those towers many years ago and only finally got round to jumping them 2 weeks back! No idea they were in line for demolition!
Looks like we did them just in time then...

glad you did jump them Smile
should have annouced you were around, I live 3 minutes away.
We will miss them, they were a beautiful and easy way to get your marks from far away, be it hiking in the mountains, flying in a plane, sailing on the lake, drunk crawling back home... Very few people won't regret them. Most will.Frown

do you have video of the jump ? would love to see that as a tribute to one of the best beacons in the area
