WJOL's neighbor just to the east, WCPT's night site saw the same copper
theiving crew, although less damage. They only got the copper between
the ball gap and ground and the ATU and ground. Nothing placed under
stone apron was taken. Too much mass to move. They got all of maybe 60
ft. of 4" copper. Not a lot considering there's 6 towers. Everything
can be re-spliced.
Now...to design a vandal resistant shroud to sit over the strap running
up the side of the pier to the ball gap and not impact the base
impedance. Hmmmm.
And to install a proximity sensor with a sonalert in each ATU looking at
each tower base.
