Transmission Tower 47-B
Added 2025-06-26 16:40:28 +0000 UTCAfter the “end of the world” many communities sprung up to protect themselves and to continue to thrive in a world where all our old infrastructure was destroyed.
Most post-apocalyptic communities built up in rural and suburban environments – while the cities were a great source of scavenging, they were dangerous with short sight lines, competing scavengers, and few places suitable for farming or herding.
The ability to look over a large area of land to both control it and to watch for encroaching trouble becomes a primary concern for these communities in time. Many erect small towers or take over the ruins of a taller apartment tower nearby for this. Smaller communities will often build up specifically around such a vantage point – like this transmission tower.
This transmission tower (long defunct – even if you had something to transmit, the generator on the ground floor would need a major overhaul to get it running again) was initially a military installation that was later used by a small rock and roll radio station (the interior walls are still covered in faded and peeling stickers of various acts and recording labels) as a retransmission point.
Today, its height and position on a hilltop make it a key lookout point, and the metal construction makes it a functional shelter for the small group of people posted here to maintain a watch.
(The design of the structure isn’t at all based on real radio towers, and is in fact very much a location that would fit in well in the “Fallout” universe).
