There is an elevated ground system on a DA in Mobile, AL with one tower  
similar to the above description.  It is on 660 kHz. @ 10kW.  with  short 
towers.

As I recall the elevated counter-poise is in four sections and there are  
four boxes all with a series vacuum capacitor to ground.

That's the one we did in the 80's.  Glad to hear that it's still in use.  It 
was made necessary by the fact that the owner of the (mobile?) home just ot 
the north of the new tower which had to be installed to move from 1550 to 660 
couldn't come to terms with the station owner to sell his land, which was 
required to install a full gound system for this tower.  Thus, it was necessary to 
take a creative approach to implement the move to 660.
