WUPE-FM 100.1 North Adams, MA

In March 2014, following some bad weather, an adjacent cell tower
collapsed, taking down the WUPE-FM tower with it.
During the cleanup, an emergency Shively Labs versatune antenna system
was installed for both stations.
After the site was cleaned up, a new, single tower was
constructed to hold the equipment of both towers, as well as the new WNNI.

In 2017, we got back up to get pictures of the new install.

Looking up the tower, transmitter building, and the emergency antennas on the left. As I understand it, one of
those two bays are now the 101.1 translator for WFCR.
