Let's look at the feedpoint of WFAN/WCBS AM stations whos twin 50,000 watt transmitters across the river from NYC share one tower. (The RF comes out of the building on that copper tubing with the rain loop in it.) The WCBS/WFAN transmitters and tower are actually in New York City, albeit the far north eastern corner, just south of mainland Bronx and right on the edge of Western Long Island Sound. We moored our first keel boat a few hundred yards from there after we bought it in 1971. http://www.hawkins.pair.com/wcbs_wfan.html Lat 40-51.589 Lon 73-47.126 You can see the tower and guy wires if you zoom way in with Google Earth. Zoom back out and you can see the small bridge connecting High Island with the north end of City Island. |
