[BC] RF absorption by foliage

[Ed Trombley]

I can't take credit for the pattern design.  Our office didn't do that 
part.  We bid on the RF construction and tune up.  Although if we had the 
opportunity to do the design it wouldn't have been a random spaced array 
that produced the nasty impedances this one delivered.

I had 3 engineers that worked with me and we did the Phasors / ATu's / 
Feedlines / Controller /
Sample system installation in basically 15 weeks.  On the last day of 
construction we ran the transmitter at reduced power into both arrays and 
both ND tower to gather some numbers and I handed the project to Wayne 
Reese and Don Baad.  They cranked and proofed the array.  Broadcast Design 
Company was the general contractor for everything.  Kintronics built the 
phasors and RF hardware.
