[BC] Signal Strength Question

[Kyle Magrill]

There are lots of tall towers in Florida, though most of the 
ones in the Miami-Ft Lauderdale market top out around 1,000'.
The Fort Lauderdale candelabra has been up since the early 1970s
and is only 50% guyed.  Everyone thought it would fall as soon as 
a puff of wind came along, but it proved them all wrong.

Florida stations with tall antennas include: 
WJLQ (Pensacola) at 520 meters, 
WHPT (Sarasota) at 503 Meters, 
WTKS/WJRR/WOMX/WRUM (Orlando) at 487 meters, 
WOCL/WMGF/WJHM (orlando) at 484 meters, 
WMTX/WFLZ (Tampa) at 472 meters, 
and the list goes on for a long while....   

The tallest one that I have personally been involved with
was 1249'  just outside of Daytona Beach made by Allied Tower.
It had a 5' face.

{snippage]And would you want a 300 meter /
