[TowerTalk] Porcupine

All the towers were struck at one time or another. The one that vaporized had one to the best of my recollection, but that was in the early 70's so the memory is a little fuzzy.

Another point: Of the three towers right behind the building, only one had a Porcupine. These towers were all installed according the IB (Installation Bulletin) and only one called for it.  The towers all had similar antennas, which were 4 Bay Bow-Ties cut for slightly different frequencies, all in the UHF range.

  You did not mention how many towers were struck that displayed Porcupines.
