[SixClub] Now here's a tower and rotator (UPDATED)

Mon Oct 25 21:36:21 EDT 2010

The local 1250KHZ (owned by Radio Maria) has a 500ft tower only used in the
directional mode...they were under a STA for 2 YEARS with 250w on the
shorter 190ft tower of the array (normal omni antenna)...was thinking of
trying the 500ft on 160...but didn't get a chance to before they got it back
operational (it was built but not used for 6 months or more!) In a marshy
area as well so it would have really kicked butt on 160..
