BU sells WRNI

[Dan.Strassberg]

Must have been an interesting trick to add that fourth tower to the
WRNI site. It can't be more than 30' from one of the towers that
existed at the site before the upgrade. I don't think the towers are
self-supporting, so the guy wires for the two towers that are so close
together presumably cross each other quite high up. Sounds like quite
a geometrical puzzle. Should provide an opportunity for some
interesting photos.
