I remember watching the first Townsend transmitter being designed and 
built in-place at WWLP-TV (22). It was at the top of Provin Mountain 
in Agawam, MA - serving Springfield. The studios were up there, too. 
It was a milder version of WMTW on Mt. Washington. Difficult to reach 
in Winter. Folks often slept up there in bad weather to keep it on the air.
