Tallest tower?

[Dave Doherty]

WPMZ 1110 kHz in Providence has two towers in East Providence, one of which 
is 222 degrees electrical height, 167.4 m, 549'.  Atop this tower is the FM 
antenna shared by WHJY and WBRU.

WEEI is 207 degrees electrical height, so this one apparently comes in close 
to #2 in both electrical height (to WNBH) and physical height (to WEEI ).

I checked the FAA database, and the tallest tower of any kind in New England 
is the WGME-TV tower in Portland at 1624' AGL.  #2 at 1350' AGL is the 
Boylston tower northeast of Worcester.
