Prometheus Towers newsletters
Four newsletters Nick sent to clients and friends of his tower company while he was building it, before Africa and before Iraq. Guy wires, AM arrays, and the first mention of the post-tensioned concrete tower.
Greetings!
We've been busy here at Prometheus Towers over the last few months. In early May we completed the long-term renovation of WNPV's (1440 AM out of Lansdale, Pennsylvania) day array. As part of this job we removed an obsolete lighting system from their towers, installed leg reinforcements, and applied coats of DTM primer and acrylic aviation paint to their towers. In late April we replaced a damaged guy wire for WDIH/WBN radio/TV in Salisbury, Maryland. This guy wire had been snagged by a construction vehicle during grading operations for the nearby US50 Bypass project and was badly kinked, endangering both a radio and television installation in addition to studio equipment.
More recently, also on the Eastern Shore, we moved an STL for WBEY radio (96.9 - Bay Country for Delmarva's Eastern Shore). The studio dish had been installed on a substandard and very short tower as a temporary measure and suffered from frequent interference and degradation of signal. We were able to install the component at 200' on a hot AM tower with a minimum of off-air time.
Meanwhile, development of our proprietary post-tensioned tower technology continues. At present we are preparing to stack the first modular post-tensioned structure of its kind as a demonstration project. Pictures to follow...
I hope this note finds everybody doing well. I'd like to thank all of you who have given us the opportunity to serve you in the last several months. For those of you who have not yet given us a try, I encourage you to find out what the Promethean difference is. As was the mythological son of a Titan, we are your patron - tomorrow, next week, night, day.
Best Wishes, Nick Berg

Two other business items: we've included an updated copy of references for those of you who are still on the fence. Also, please note that we now have a one million dollar umbrella insurance policy. This, in convoluted insurance-speak, means that our total coverage for liability is now two million dollars for any one occurrence.
Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous springtime.
