Well, I think that at least it's intriguing.  (THANKS Boomer, for the link!)

Hey ThaDood,

Cool article. And I though X band top hat antennas were funky !

I just hope that it's not too little too late. Most tin can stations  are operating on a shoestring budget and may only be close to breaking even (or are even  gradually losing dough and are kept afloat by a  rich Sugar daddy. I know of two of these offhand ).

Even if they WANTED to experiment with new technologies, could they afford it ?

Wow. Very cool. Might keep a few AM stations on the air a bit longer -- at least those that could afford such an installation.
