Radio Station KGO(AM) in San Francisco has its transmitting plant (directional array with three self-supporting towers) not too far off the San Andreas Fault that shook in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. The top section of one of the towers folded down upon itself - and those were big strong towers. The entire array was rebuilt. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
