not necessarily metalworking related. here in my small town they put up some cell antennas about 2 or 3 years ago. we had a big thunderstorm a couple weeks ago. one of the antennas got zapped. sorry to say i think it looks pretty funny. bzzzapp!

Ha! Peeled the radome like a bananna!

Made it look like a small CB ground plane.
The two remaining antennas just don't look right. Usually the antennas are set to be directional so the cells are pie shaped. From the ground it looks like a open box around the radiator.

Those look like standard omni directional fiberglass antennas. What they use depends on the location and what they are trying to cover. I would have to see a model number to know what freq band they are in. Might not have anything to do with cellular stuff. Could easy be public safety, ham, business...
