Yhea they were mostly 1000 kW stations.. I think the TX powers went down with the conversion to digital a few years ago, but it’s still not safe to be on that level.

Otherwise its way beyond safe RF levels at level 6. So I know what day this was done on. I’m on level 3 which is RF safe unless they are using the AUX antennas. It’s definitely the most amazing tower I have ever worked on, and it’s also an absolute Cadillac to work on too, since you can ride the elevator to all the levels. There are also various winch systems permanently in place to raise dishes, etc. -Peter
