[BC] WFIN Findlay OH loses tower

[Bill Smith]

How about 5 levels?  
Top looks to anchor about the middle of the FM array.
Fourth level just above the bottom of the upper white section.
Third just above the center of the center white band
Second is the middle of the lower red section
First is in the lower white across from the ridge of the building's lower
roof.
