[BC] Short AM Tower

[Bobby Cox]

Yes, we built that phasor for Polnet in late 
1999.  It was certainly not an ideal 
situation.  As I recall it, they had to use those 
short, grounded, self supporting towers with top 
hats and skirt kits (with no stubs) in order to 
fit within local restrictions on towers.  Mark 
Mueller managed to get that one wrestled in and licensed.

I presume that WNVR/1030 in Vernon Hills IL ran into some kind of local
restriction when they built their DA in 2000. It consists of four
36.60° (~97 feet) towers with 9.40° tophats consisting of 6
horizontal elements. I believe the towers are fed as folded unipoles.
