 I don't remember the station, but I do remember seeing once
 a smaller tower built along side as a cable race.
 Apparently, worked well.
 That way, the change as a cable is added, is much much smaller
 per cable, so much less change, if any.

    Curt, elaborate on the physical layout of this, would you? I'm picturing
the radiating tower with a smaller cross-section tower adjacent to it with
any/all cables running up it, then "jimping" over to the radiating tower at
some level. Is that about it?

    Were the two towers mechanically bonded together, and how far apart were
they? Cables bonded to "cable chase" tower, then to the radiating tower I
take it? I'm picturing something like a 2-m j-pole here.

tnx,

Dave Dunsmoor
