This is a monopole installation at the QEW & highway 427. Note the Fido tower in the distance (bottom edge of the photo).

This tower contains both "Mike" antennas (at the top) and PCS antennas (lower down). This site is located at Highways 401 and 410 in Mississauga.
This is another lowrise site at the corner of Highway 403 & Eglinton in Mississauga. This is the picture I used for the background on most of my web pages.
There are actually three sites here, and the Clearnet one is the hardest to see. If you look close, you can see two antennas on the top of the center protrusion. This is a medical building on the southeast corner of Eglinton & Erin Mills Parkway in Mississauga (just outside Credit Valley Hospital).
This array of antennas is actually a full Clearnet site, located on the southeast corner of Yonge & Bloor in Toronto. The strange image in the upper-left is a reflection from my car's windshield.
