I looked them up on Radio-Locator.com and found out that this is thier night 
site! Their day site is several miles away with 4 towers! Man-oh-man! This is 
probably a newly modified facility, made possible by the downgrade of WOWO.

What I foind interesting is that the major lobe of that 12 tower site appears 
to be broadside from the array, with a large minor lobe coming off the 
"bottom". It still amazes me how patterns like this can be "manufactured" with such 
precision these days. The wonders of computer technology and GOOD Consultants 
to oversee the build and tune-up!
