Well, the KFBK Franklin is two vertical 180 deg co-linear elements 
center fed [in-phase, I think], so I guess it would be about 1,600 ft 
[almost 500 m].  A couple of the TV towers in Walnut Grove down in the 
Delta are 2,000 ft [600 m], but they're not center fed. [:-)  I think 
most "half-wave" BC verticals are close to but not exactly 180 deg.  
IIRC, KFI [640 KHz] in Los Angeles has a 725 ft tower which is almost 
exactly 180 deg  but has a capacity hat that extends it to an effective 
195 deg or so. When you drive by it on I-5, it is one very tall tower.
