TWiRT 43 - Dropping Towers and Bars

So, just how do you drop a radio tower in New Jersey?  Seems like it wouldn't take more than a phone call to the right guy.  We discuss the SBE's Ennes Workshops, fractal antennas, and just what should 5 bars indicate?

TWiRT is sponsored by Omnia Audio.  Get an Omnia-6EX FM/HD audio processor for the price of an Omnia-5.   Visit http://www.omniaaudio.com/twirt

Speaking of towers coming down - These at WWVA (AM) were toppled by high wind a few hours before TWiRT recorded on Wednesday evening.
