[BC] Day/Night separate sites

You are correct,  I left the area and the Company in the late 60's 
and never went back, so it is entirely possible that I may have the 
location in error. I do remember at the time that the towers were 
located on the North side of I-90 and were originally built by TCA 
Tower out of Atlanta (Cliff Tant) There were two three tower, 180 
degree spacing, lines of towers spaced 90 degrees from one 
another.  The design of the Array was initiated by Wm. E. Benns, and 
I did the math.
At the time of design 1960-1962 all the agreements with Cuban 
protection were still in force which protected the entire North Coast 
of Cuba to 5 Microvolt, the same protection was afforded to the 
Southern border of Canada.
690 KHz was almost empty back then, however making the whole thing 
function took a lot of work.
All the Transmitters were Brennan designs using Water cooling, 
grounded grid Dougherty, with capabilities of Supermodulation.
Those were the "Majestic" years to be an Engineer in broadcasting. 
Modulation wars were truly that, wars, with many incidents of 
equipment sabotage, some quite ingenious.
