Waterbury, CT Area Radio Pictures

[Dan.Strassberg]

I had always thought that WATR had only two towers, but I see that it
uses the two end towers for the 1 kW-N operation (figure-eight
pattern) and all three towers for the 5 kW-D (single lobe mostly to
the north). Based on the day pattern, I assume the site is south of
Waterbury. Am I right? Even more suprising is that the towers are a)
just barely taller than 200' and b) all three are illuminated. Is
there an airport nearby? If not, it's rather strange that WATR didn't
get permission to illuminate only the center tower. Since the distance
from the center tower to each end tower is less than the height of the
towers (albeit, just barely), the FAA would normally agree to allow
illumination of only the center tower. Or did you get someone to turn
on the lights on the end towers so that you could get that cool
picture? ;>).
