I have been in the radio communications business for over 30 years.
I have three communications sites and towers.
I am sure most anyone in this business, like myself, is scratching his head over this Berg story.
The whole story is so full of holes that it makes zero sense.
Was Berg a radio man or a tower man?
Where is his staff of tower workers?
Where did he get his supplies?
What type of tower did he erect?
What WAS his expertise?
Where was his base of operation and all of his equipment?
My guess is that Berg was some delusional nutcase who, at best, could have hitched a deal with one of the big contractors, but even then, he would not likely be anymore
then a technical worker.
I have many friends that over the past 25 years have been to the middle east with companies like G.E (now Erikson), Harris, and Motorola.
Even in a non war zone, this work is done by BIG companies with BIG contracts, and many people.
Of course, we get all our information from the media, and we know that's worth about as much as spit.
He was a joint exhibitor with Harris and the FCC and a bunch of other big name radio companies last year at the Pennsylvania association of broadcasters:
He apparently invented a way to build a communications tower in a remote location with made-on-site interlocking concrete blocks and is seen showing it off above. Apparently he was both a radio and a tower man. He was apparently fearless, which probably led to his demise.
