Yes, it was me using the 916a.  I'll have to dig into the manual to 
see about the correction factor as I was unaware of it.

I was taught how to use the bridge by Cal Applegate who was a Pioneer 
Broadcaster and a correction factor was never mentioned.

Taking readings without a correction factor duplicated the readings of 
consulting engineers who are PE's who previously read the tower and / 
or ATU so I don't see where a correction factor would be required, but 
them I'm always willing to learn something new.  I'll check into it.
