This 40 foot tall radio tower was designed by CLUI Residence
Program participant Deborah Stratman, and built by her crew
from Chicago, as part of her "Power/Exchange"
project. The tower acts as a sort of scanner/sampler for
the invisible radio spectrum of the area. A kiosk at its
base enables visitors to listen to different radio frequencies
in the region, such as aviation channels, fast food drive-thrus,
casino security, and others. There is also a transmit function
in the kiosk, with low powered FM and Citizens Band, so
users can communicate with some of the thousands of truckers,
residents, and transients in the area and on the Interstate.
