Description Lattice Communications - Sherman Mountain Site
Latitude +40.14511 40° 8' 42.4" N
Longitude -77.65311 77° 39' 11.2" W
Identification FCC Antenna Structure Registration Number (ASRN) 1026039
Notes This is a microwave repeater station for Lattice Communications. This tower has apparently changed ownership several times, since it also bears the Broadwing logo, and beneath that is the obscured name of another company. The tower is labeled as the Sherman Mountain Station.

There are 6 radome-covered microwave antennae, 3 on each side. The dishes pointing roughly eastward are apparently pointed at the Greason Station of Lattice Communications, which is also documented on this website.

The FCC ID of this tower is apparently wrong, as it points to a tower in the Philadelphia area. There are no other FCC entries where this tower is located, however.

Visits
When Who Notes
Thursday, March 14, 2002 Brady Alleman The towers on this site were reached by walking Gunter Road (a logging road) from the Shippensburg Municipal Water Supply's treatment plant near Roxbury, above the Gunter Valley Reservoir, and finally ascending the steep power line right-of-way directly above the Blue Mountain Tunnel of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Sunday, December 10, 2006 Brady Alleman, Chris Barner Observed signage change to Triangle from Lattice, and possible new antennas.
