This is terrific! My hat is off to every one of you. Every one of the photos posted has made a positive impact to this project, even the distorted ones from Mark! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Lots of blanks are being filled in and I appreciate everyone's efforts. I'm at the station today, but I'll be posting more from my collection tomorrow. I'll also be saving each of the pics posted, labeled with their spec number, to create an Ultravision Library to accompany the database. Thanks!
If anyone has any pics of these WLF rigs from Texas, I'd be interested in seeing them (especially Lubbock and Dallas).
