[BC] RFI stalls cars near Empire State Building

[Dana Puopolo]

IIRC, the master antenna on Empire is a 2 bay full wave spaced one. Perhaps
the downward minor lobe is causing the problem?

There is really not as much RF on the streets around Empire as one might
think. All but one of the broadcast antennas on the building are multi bay
which typically have less downward radiation. The lowest antennas on the
building are on the mooring mast and these are high gain UHF traveling wave
antennas with little downward characteristic.
