WTWW FROM THE AIR - Quadcopter Style! New YouTube Video.
« on: January 20, 2015, 2102 UTC »
Hi Folks!

Those interested in radio station transmitter sites, quadcopters, sickeningly dizzying heights, etc will find this new YouTube video of interest. It's a bird's eye view of WTWW, Lebanon TN.

Looks quite interesting - nothing especially unusual about the setup. It also backs onto a hill running along one side of the antennas - amazing how well it gets out! One of the engineers at the station confirmed with me that there are just the three rhombics on the property.

He also noted that he had to turn the transmitters off before he could fly his quadcopter due to the extremely high RF in the air! Otherwise he would lose control of the copter once it got to a certain height.....and send it tumbling to the ground!  :D

The video is also up on the Mount Evelyn DX Report blog. Hope you enjoy it! 73,
