 I do remember being there, and wondering about it.
 I was there for other reasons, though.
 ( a lizard had tried to crawl across a base insulator. The
 resulting arc had blown his head completely away, and
 the transmitters would not stay on. What was left of the
 poor thing was holding on for dear life, so would arc again
 every time the transmitter tried to come on. )

 If there was ever a radial system there, it's long gone
 due the restaurant, and the fishery next door, not to
 mention that house that's almost close enough to reach
 out the window and touch the tower.

 Interesting site, that.
 I'm also remembering a plexiglass front on a "phasor"
 ( actually filtering ) cabinet ? and RFR well above limits.
