Our location for many years was Grafton Court near Taino Beach on Grand 
Bahama.  There, we had a free standing 160 foot tower with one of the 
legs showing considerable rust the last time we were there.  Good chance 
that tower was taken down by Dorian but I have no way of checking with 
Sarah, the caretaker for the condos there.  If it did come down, I hope 
it didn't fall on the condos!

Our location for 2016, 17, 18 was in Marsh Harbor on Abaco at a three 
bedroom rental house called On the Rocks.  It's balcony was right over 
the water, so was a great place for vertical antennas.  Looking at the 
videos from the media, that place had to have been destroyed or at least 
severely damaged.
