[BC] Scott -Skirt feeds.....

That's what I was thinking. I couldn't see two drops working. I think this was a three legged tower. This was just an application I saw a while back for another station. I just thought it was odd just to show two drops in the drawing and not mention how many drops there would be. 

I have three drops, which does fine.

A typical skirt consists of 3 or more wire drops.  Symmetry about the tower is 
important for drop wires, so I'm thinking that using only 2 wires on a 3 sided 
(or even a 4 sided)  tower will result in some pattern distortion. You may end

The FCC may not be very pleased with something such as that being submitted for 
licensing. They could by a stretch of the imagination consider it a directional
