Last time I was by there, VOA Bethany was still standing(1982). A video of
the WLW site would be better than still pictures. It was amazing to see this
behemoth tower standing so close to the road(albeit behind a building that
was dwarfed by it). Guy cables bigger around than my leg pulled down near
the road). I do have pictures of WSM taken from the road. The other night I
didn't see any lights lit on WSM's tower!
