Ogallala-NE-SW  [5 of 5]
This shows the tower looking toward the northeast. I believe that it is the original tower, but a vertical extension was added, probably about 1980, when a newer Chappell, NE tower was built 7 miles north of Julesburg, CO. The additional height was required to achieve line-of-sight to Chappell. The original route to Julesburg was "shot" diagonally over the South Platte River valley and had no problems with ground clearance, but the new Chappell site to the west required taller towers to maintain the line of sight.
