[BC] WMCA/WNYC Tower Work

[Scott Fybush]

Tower painting underway. I was down that way Saturday, poking back into 
the weeds and brush to get some better pictures of the old WNEW 1130 
towers in "horizontal mode" down in the water, and had a brief chat with 
the painters as they were leaving for the afternoon.

I was hoping Stu Engelke might have been around to answer the question 
definitively...but he'd already left for the day (and a long weekend, 
according to one of the painters).

At least on Saturday, the northernmost of the three towers was entirely 
white - presumably a new primer coat before the orange-and-white goes up 
there.
