Thanks Tod - sorry, I missed your post earlier. I haven't seen any seasonal tags on any of the stations I've looked at so far. A portable tower that get's put away over Winter then goes back in the same spot next year is a new one on me, but could well explain some of the shots that appear to show a structure, which then isn't there in other shots. What area are you in?
