[SBE] How tall is your AM tower? Can we license a tree?

[Bill Burckhard]

Blaw Knox towers. I worked on an AM station in Great Falls, Mt. that had a
Blaw Knox tower. I think that is the beefiest tower I have ever seen. It
originally supported a high power channel 5 antenna and ran the AM radio at
the same time. When the TV station moved, They put more tower on top to
replace the effect of the TV antenna being removed. It is a slant wire
antenna on a 75 ohm system.

Yes it was cut down, as was the WLW tower that lost the top mast.  WSM mast 
was used in part as a school flag pole according to a web site about Blaw
Knox 
towers.
