[SADXA] SADXA] Glad to be in AZ

[Wes]

Back in my RV days I used to detour to visit tall towers when I could. I've seen 
NAA from outside the gate.  I tried to talk my way in but no luck.  I did talk 
my way into the NASA Guaymas tracking station once.  When I was in Ft Collins I 
called up NBS and asked for a tour of WWV.  They informed me that they didn't 
give tours, but some contractors were doing some work on site, and the gate was 
unlocked so as long as I didn't get out of my car I could come in.  The WWVL 
antenna was rather impressive.

But the biggest was the KVLY tower near Fargo.  When I was there the sign said 
it was 2048 feet tall.  This seems to vary in the literature.  I first saw if 
from 20 miles away.  At the time it was the tallest man-made structure on 
Earth.  I was erected in 30 days!
