[BC] Antenna Question

[Tom]

I know of a few stations at the low end of the reserved band that run 
V-Pol to minimize interference to the local Ch. 6 with little or no 
H-Pol component...

W F C I, Franklin, Indiana (89.5 MHz) comes immediately to mind; 
currently 1.15 kw V @ 67m HAAT; app on file to go 3 kw V@ 81m HAAT.
