    After reading a bit deeper about this station and this antenna in particular, i have to wonder if this isn’t an attempt at insurance fraud, and why I say that is that this station has been trying to repair that radio tower over the years and have had an issue with the tower going dark repeatedly, maybe they figured they could make more money off the insurance claim, or enough to replace it, and through all of the fundraising and exposure it looks like that’s just what’s going to happen.
