I Hope The WFEA-AM Towers Are Still Up

High winds in southern New Hampshire have caused power outages in part of the Granite State.
As of noon today (Saturday, 02/19), WFEA 1370-AM  in Manchester, NH seems to be off-the-air.  This
would not normally be of interest to most people not associated with ownership or management, 
except for the fact that its two-tower array is a relic of an earlier period in broadcasting. One tower,
shorter than the other is a flagpole design, sort of like the WLLH-AM stick in Lawrence; the
other, a taller diamond-shaped tower resembles the iconic WLW stick in Cincinnati.  It amazes
me that Scott hasn't run a photo of the WFEA site in one of his calendars.  (He's run KTAR-AM
620 in Phoenix, AZ twice).  I hope the wind hasn't blown down either or both of these towers;
they've been around for a LONG time, so they've survived windstorms and even hurricanes before.
BTW:  if you go to radio-locator.com, enter WFEA;  switch the image from map to satellite and
ZOOM IN as close as you can, you can SEE the shadow of the diamond tower!
