[BC] Shunt Feed AM Antennas

[Bailey, Scott]

Oh I should have said "Slant Wire Antenna". It's a shame the FCC would allow them.  It would save the small AM operator money.  A small AM can co-locate on a cell tower of the right height. I'd rather pay a reasonable rent than the outragious taxes that Sumner County Tennessee is tax us on towers.

KOAC is one of the few remaining slant-wire fed DAs, and it is perhaps
unique as its day pattern is a mirror image of its night pattern.

It is an ex-Class III-A, and has been on-air from near day-one, and for
decades it was the only full-time 5 kW station on 550 in the West.

Even the likes of former KOY is still 5/1.
