[Dana Puopolo]

1500 had 12 towers. if I recall, Canada was always coming up with these huge
arrays. Wasn't 680 in Toronto something like 16 towers?

I always get this one confused, but it was either 1500 or 1440 that 
tried a 21 tower application.

It would be nice to have the definitive story here, but I do not 
recall any other application above, what?, 12 or 14 towers?

The physics of 21 towers (spacing, etc), not to mention the cost in 
land and steel, would make it a rather unworkable project at all 
today, one would think.
