Description
A 40' pole L-4 was built here in 1933. In 1955, the 53' L-4 tower from Churchill Mtn. was moved to Quartz. In 1959, the L-4 cab was removed, the tower trimmed to 30', and an R-6 flat cab affixed to the top. Vandalism plagued the tower after it was abandoned in the 1970's. An act of arson claimed the tower in October 1997.
