Here are some early pictures from tower trips in 1998. I'm afraid I don't have exact dates on these images. These were taken with my old Casio camera, so the image quality isn't as good as the newer images. The green is caused by the high levels of RF coming from an FM Broadcast antenna just above us. 1.
