[TowerTalk] How tall is that tower?

[Kent Winrich]

You can click HYBRID on that map and get a satellite view.  It is on a
ridge, but you do need to zoom in quite a ways.

You want tall towers???  We have about five 600 meter towers in the
Raleigh area.  More out east too.  Makes for great TV and FM signals.
Can you say 160m sloper???? :-D
