WBTK Richmond, VA (ex WMBG, WTVR) had its 3-tower array in a swamp 
north of Richmond after they moved away the pre-WW2 West Broad St / 
Staples Mill Rd site.  They now are applying way NW of town with a COL 
of Lakeside.  Another legacy station reduces signal to its main city.

Was it WCAO that had its towers in Baltimore harbor until after WW2 or 
was it WCBM?.

WCEM 1230 Cambridge, MD, is on a little peninsula surrounded by 
salt-ish Chesapeake water. They get out very well for a class C.

ahurricane a couple of years ago.
