There is something truly fascinating about discovering the source of a 
radio transmission.  I feel a certain drive to find the point of origin 
for radio and TV stations I hear.

Is the fascination with the transmitter location a common trait among 
radio hobbyists?  How many of us drive around to transmitter sites and 
hike up hills to towers while carrying radios and frequency counters?  
Do you point out radio towers through the car window to friends and 
family only to be met by indifference?
