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?
