[TowerTalk] Fwd: Now THIS is a tower climb!

[Steve Maki]

Lot's of broadcast towers are lit with LEDs, that's old news. A little 
pricey to install, but well worth it for the long term bottom end. OTOH, 
OTA broadcast companies are wondering what the long term future holds 
for them.

LEDs have been a little problematic on AM towers.
