[BC] Aluminum Radials for AM

[Scott Bailey]

Yea, that the reason why we are doing this, due to the area the station is located in. The  bumbs won't touch the wires in the air. They will think there is AC to them and they will be left alone.

Ivan is very familiar with the concept of elevated radials and knew what to to. He told me to contact my lawyer in DC and tell him what I have to do because of the copper thieves. We plan on doing this around May or June when the weather is warmer.

Thanks,
   Scott
