 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.

 And it's finally licensed, measured, and proofed for what it is.
 When Tom ( Jones ) and I got there, it had been 9 towers licensed as 12, running
 thirty-something kilowatts day mode 24/7 for years.
 Today, it's 9 towers, 50KW day, 10 KW night, legit.
 *Finally* finalized and finished just a few months ago.
