launch. This will be filed with the NCTA.
o Don P shared the need for a 50 to 80 foot tower to put a single antenna. It is
a 2 in by 8ft rod. Discussion was held as to whether it could be run through
the middle of the tank of the water tower. The apprehension of allowing one
antenna will inspire others to put add other antennas onto the water tower.
