The wife got me a Sutro Tower shirt one year for Christmas. This was when OTA digital television rolled out. When the rest of San Jose seemed to be taking down their TV aerials or letting them fall apart I was nerding out: purchasing a new one and mast sections from Rat Shack to set up one on our house.

Scanning the spectrum to pull in KQED, etc. The first Austin City Limits I saw in HD blew my mind.

I think all but one TV station came to the South Bay by way of Sutro. Quite a reach.

If you haven't seen Tunnel Vision (same author) please do yourself a favor and watch it. Dude does some fantastic projects.

Great video if you like watching videos from the front of BART which is pretty boring tbf. Much better videos of locos travelling through the alps

Wow! I'd love to read a more in-depth blog post describing how to create one of these myself, and maybe even contribute my own splats to a collaborative library for iconic landmarks. I could see interactive splats being added to Wikipedia for popular locations.
