Ha ha!  Thanks.  I am sure yours will be very cool as well.

I've found two items that work very well for a cell tower.  One is the
3-bladed propeller piece (I can't remember the number, but it is on Peeron's
inventory-there's one in the Giant Model Set).  Also, you can use the
technic worm rack piece for the smaller "box" antennas that sit on top of
the tower.

I should have thought of the propeller piece.  I feel like such a dunce.
I'll have to make another version that uses those.  Thanks.

(Box antennas are unidirectional, and a full antenna is omnidirectional).
Just an FYI from somebody who works in telecommunications...

I don't know much about telecom, so I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I
think it's pretty easily recognized for what it is and that's what counts.
I bet yours will be more accurate.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you
come up with.
