Hi Forrest,

Any cross street?  Or Lat Long Coordinates?
We could get it up on a google maps image...
Once you have lat long, perhaps you could find details in the FCC tower data 
base.
BTW, I just discovered in Google maps, that if you want a photo/map of an 
area you only know by Lat Lon, then just type in the Lat and Lon, separated 
by a comma, in the Google maps box, and it will take you there.

Looks to have 3, maybe 4 warning lights along the length.  There are no dish 
antennas or other types on it.  Anyone know what's is for and how tall?  
It's a monster.
