I take care of a couple television transmitter sites and one of the
companies I do work for is Maryland Public Television and although this is
not my site its our flagship station WMPT in Annapolis and on top the tower
is a fourteen thousand pound  dual antenna that provided our analog service
at one time and our HD service. With the big repack we migrated down to
channel twenty one so the entire structure had to be removed and replaced
with a spacer and a new channel twenty one antenna. Apparently it was about
a third the price to do this by helicopter and it only required less than
three hours to swap everything out although another two days was spent doing
final connections and lighting.

The entire process was video taped and can be interesting to watch. Go to:

Just don't watch if you have an issue with heights!
