[BC] Class "D" AM Towers

[Scott Bailey]

Hello Engineers, Friends, and Good Ole Folks like Me:

   I have a question. What is the smallest "licensed" tower for a Class D station, that is still in use?  With all the concerns of fighting local zoning boards (both city and county), I wondering what is the smallest tower in use for a Class "D" station (not class IV or Class C) stations. Valcoms are excluded!

   I've seen a demonstration of a 70' self supporting tower with a unipole on it. The author claimed it worked well at 1,000 watts. 

   If my tower was to fall, I doubt they would let me put it back up at the height I have it now, and it's not worth a fight with the county and the city due to these people own businesses. I would like to keep my tower site inside the city limits due to Sunday's is my big day and I have many elderly listening to preachers and live church services here in town, so it would be in my best interest to keep my site in the city limits. Finding another site is almost impossible here in town. All the property has been bought up.

   Property is gotten worth more than the little AM Daytimer itself, so I thought I would ask this question to see what is the shortest tower that a "Class D" station is using and is licensed.

Best,
   Scott
