minus-squareslazer2au@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up23·1 month agoWorking up a radio tower that is on top of a hill where 2 quarries are slowly cutting their way into. Everything was fine until I hear a large bang and rumbling noises. Then the entire tower starts vibrating with the shockwave of explosion. I was about 20M up the tower that day. Also we now know why our millimetre wave radios will sometimes have jitters in the signal strength.
