I did write to the writer and did not hear a thing.  And they wonder 
why they call it the Milwaukee URINAL/Sentinel. (Applogies to any 
Journal employees, including partimers Barry)

I know and have worked with that tower crew.  I can guarrantee that 
Mark Higgins did not say anything about POISONING.

Oh and another.... that signal is BEAMED to another antenna for back up.

Now people are going to think a tower gives off the kind of radiation a
nuclear reaction would give off.
That needs to be corrected by the paper.

Now who is the dummy?

This tower has a 5 MW ch 58, their DTV, two LP 200kW UHF stations, a class B
FM and a bunch of communications equipment.  We can only be so fortunate as
these people will not procreate.  BTW this tower does nto have an elevator.
