UD Tower Closed

UD Tower was closed, effective this weekend. Like the station, it will remain, and potentially be converted into a museum.

I put together this video some time ago, before everything closed, showing operations as they were right before the big changes of the last year.

well, ya know...that's not an issue anymore.

Besides, I know you've watched it before, when I originally published it.

I enjoy wind noise but I didn't hear much of any. Did you edit it out, MQT?

No, I was talking about my new camera.

I didn't think there was a lot of it in this particular video, but some just can't stand any.
