I've worked two. OK, one of them was only 11 towers.

Was that a 21 tower array, or between the three sites 21 towers ?
The 1500 at one time, if memory serves, was 21 but from multiple sites.

When Tom ( Jones ) and I got there, it had been 9 towers licensed as 12, running

Today, it's 9 towers, 50KW day, 10 KW night, legit.
*Finally* finalized and finished just a few months ago.
