Bill- A treasure trove of useful information! I didn't realize there was an LTTS service in the FCC regs...sometimes I'm as guilty as any for keeping my focus...

Kevin- Interesting about that OTA tower. I haven't seen this exact one, but there are many out there. CATV systems that rely of OTA pickup often have not...

I am going to guess the Echo Fox system possibly? I know the equipment at the time would fit - Mastr Pro base stations. Possibility that the same unit that is...

Many towers are listed despite not being required to. Not necessarily near airports either. I see it at many of the sites I work at. Depending on the actual...
