This was granted on February 10. It's happening more and more. Land developers

The towers it was using had a small amount of top loading.  Including that they 
were one quarter wavelength (.25). A 20 meter wire is .10 wavelength. Finding a 
new site of its own would probably be impossible for a lot of reasons. 
Diplexing is most likely the only solution. Diplexed stations can get out well 
if an engineer with experience sets up the equipment.
