DA's with highways, on Islands, in shopping centers, I think there is one in
Allentown, PA and another in Meriden, CT in a shopping center parking lot.
(Or was it the non-D of WMMW that was in the parking lot?)

Lest we forget WJJZ, 1460 in Mount Holly, NJ, 4 towers on an island in the
Delaware... Spent most of it's life dark.  Towers came down in the mid-90's
when WWJZ was built, but shortly thereafter WIFI appeared on 1460 in nearby
Florence. That one was built on church property. I pulled their application
when I was in D.C. a few years back, after it was on for tests then dark for
about 6 months... Worst application for license I have ever seen, data for
only 3 of their 4 towers.

I've seen a number or rooftop towers - a single tower with a counterpoise.
Most everyone I have seen was a Class IV (OK, so I'm dating myself).

But, something I thought I would never see, a DA on a roof top, in Oakland
KPIG is on the roof of a warehouse, 4 tower day - 8 kW, 5 tower night - 230
watts.  Scott Fybush where are you?

Are there others?
