Talking down to a 30′ tower is quite the feet though.

It does replace the refrigerator sized cabinets at the base of those towers, but even then it’s not providing the same power for transmission or the multitude of channels.

It would be useful to turn cell phones into walkie talkies if you’re out camping, or on a deserted island without cell phone service.
