[BC] Any manned transmitter sites left?

[Dennis Jones]

Clingman's Peak. And there is a pretty nice apartment/emergency 
quarters there. Our transmitters are in the same building and our 
main antenna is on their aux tower. What's so remote? 3 1/2 hour 
drive in good weather...fog freezing on the 
horizontal....bears....ice blocks the size of a VW Bug falling off 
the grids....Mike Dwinell and crew are the best landlords you could 
ask for. Of course...at 6500',17.5K gets me to Athens GA to the 
south, west of Knoxville, just shy of Winston-Salem in the east, 
north to VA;plus all of Greenville/Spartanburg SC and Charlotte NC.
