[SECC] Big Beam in Downtown Macon,GA

[John Laney]

Here is Paul Newberry, N4PN, answer to Scott's inquiry. Apparently he 
didn't know of the commercial use of the antenna. 73, John, K4BAI


Hi:
The Monster 4el Beam is right down town on top of the old Rescue Mission 
Building....
I never knew the operator or his call.....However, I was having 
breakfast at Krystal one morning
a few years ago when a lady saw my car tag and introduced herself. She 
was also a ham, can???t
remember her call except she was a K4 and had been a ham for long time. 
The station and beam
belonged to her husband, but he had long left Macon to accept another 
position.
The beam is still a ???wonderful sight??? for us hamoholics on a big tower 
up in the air on top of that
multi-story building.....located two blocks off Cherry Street, the main 
street, on what was always
known as Broadway, but now it???s changed to Marlin Luther King Blvd.
73, Paul, N4PN

I am in Columbus, about 90 miles west of Macon on the Alabama line. 
Thanks for the signal report.?? I do go to Macon several times a year 
and do not remember seeing this.?? I have forwarded the message to Paul 
Newberry, N4PN, in Macon and will let you know what response I get.??
