orientation_deg - The orientation of this tower, in electrical degrees, from
the origin or from the immediately preceding tower, depending on the value
of the tower reference switch.

spacing_deg - The spacing of this tower, in electrical degrees, from the
origin or from the immediately preceding tower, depending on the value of

>Again I'm going to show my lack of knowledge of AM 
>directional arrays.  I was looking at the FCC antenna data 
>for the night pattern of KOMO 1000 kHz in Seattle and wonder 
>if someone would explain a bit about it to me.
>I understand about the different tower heights, 185, 180 and 
>170 degrees but I don't understand what the spacing and 
>orientation information mean.

>Spacing, 105, 10.5 and 105 degrees, does this mean that tower 
>2 is only 10.5 degrees from tower 1?

>Orientation, 10, 70 and 190 degrees, does this mean that 
>tower 1 is at 10 degrees, very slightly east of north, and 
>that tower 2 is in a line of 70 degrees from tower 1 and 
>tower 3 is in a line of 190 degrees from tower 1?

>And, if I can get another answer, is there a specific reason 
>for the different tower heights?

>Thanks,
