Well, no matter how hard I use my perception, a cell phone tower in N. Las Vegas and a cell phone tower in Henderson are not going to get any closer together. That's a fact. And we've identified for sure that Pecos Tower is in N. Las Vegas and we know the length of the call. . .a few minutes. And it's a fact that there is no way a person can legally drive from N. Las Vegas to Henderson in a few minutes. So, where am I forcing facts to my perception?
As far as what engineers do, it's not like PEPCON was a decisive battle in the Civil War or anything like that. It was an explosion. That's it. It might be a date that will live in infamy for the locals who were here at the time but they are in a small minority now, probably less than 25 percent. Over 1.5 million people have moved here since 1988.
It just seems to me that the towers we have identified so far. . .Arroyo Grande, Whitney Ranch, Cactus/Bermuda, Southern Highlands, etc. . .are named for easily identifiable streets in Las Vegas or Henderson. Even Pecos tower, although it's not where everyone originally thought, now makes sense now that we know that Pecos runs near where that tower is in N. Las Vegas. So, after naming all of these towers for current streets or areas in town, why would someone go way off the board and name a tower after an obscure reference that isn't there anymore? Why just not call the tower PEPCON, if that's the case? An Ocean Spray plant is there now. Why not name it Ocean Spray? It just seems that from the facts we know cell phone companies identify their towers according to current landmarks and streets.
That would be like if I had six kids and I named the first five Bob, Harry, Jennifer, Michael, Diane. . .and the sixth child I named Toshiba.
And for the record, I think this is all moot because laytonian has already identified every cell phone tower and found the names of those towers in the vicinity of where PEPCON used to be. The Arroyo Grande tower is very close to the old site. The cell phone tower at Gibson at the 215 is also very close as well. And they are surely enough to cover the area where PEPCON used to be.
I am convinced that the Rocket tower is up in N. Las Vegas or in the north area of the City of Las Vegas. We just haven't found it yet. And I plan to go look for myself today up in N. Las Vegas as to not allow my perceptions to take over my life. . .:crazy:
