[BC] More Tower Sites on Google Maps

Wrong on the date of the array--this was originally licensed as KLIF many
moons ago.    The daytime site is in Irving at the corner of N Beltline Road
and  E Beltline Road. I think this site was built when DFW airport was built
in the early '70s  Night lobe was designed to put a strong signal into Fort
Worth.  There was some discussion not too long ago on one of the lists about
this that gave some of the history.  The guys in Dallas can supply a whole
lot more detail.
