[BC] Open wire transmission lines Hi Power Medium Wave

[Kent Winrich]

According to the web site, here is the power distribution for the towers:

The antennas consist of 4 metal pylons. The distances between centres is 350
Mr. the heights: 270, 276, 280 and 282 Mr.
The pylons are of triangular section of 3 side m.
The distribution of the powers are 2%, 56%, 41%, 1% for a diagram of
radiation of 220? (south-western) with a profit of 3 and one weakening of
the minima postpone higher than 1/1000.  The feedline impedanec is 120 ohms
