The 2000-foot tower near the small town of Broadway in Lee County was 
destroyed this afternoon.  Apparently the tower (or guy wires) was hit by a 
plane, though no plane wreckage has been found as of 5 PM.

The tower supported the WKFT-TV 40 transmitter (licensed to Fayetteville), 
and the PCRN's 147.105 repeater, in addition to many other two-way radio 
services.
