I have reviewed coverage data for the proposed <br /> installation, and reviewed RF coverage information for AT&T Wireless' existing sites and <br /> potentielocations in the vicinity. <br /> 2.

The <br /> antennas will not extend the height of the proposed tower or materially alter its appearance. <br /> Concealed coaxial cables within the monopole will connect the antennas to telecommunications <br /> equipment concealed within an equipment room in the building. The facility will be connected to <br />
