Most of the NY TV stations were transmitting from Alpine on a temporary
bases until they got them up on the Empire State Building. They may still be
there as backups. Note that the cable systems did not even hiccup when the
WTC went down. Must use a direct studio microwave link.

I did find the answer. http://www.fybush.com/site-021219.html It is the
Armstrong Tower in Apline, New Jersey. I found that it is about 24 miles
away. I never really looked outside my attic with binoculars before and
tried to identify things. This is interesting because there are water
towers visible behind it. These water towers must be in New York because
the Hudson River is next to Alpine.

I live in Passaic County in New Jersey and I can see a hugh red and

white
antenna east of my location. I can't tell how far it is but it is far.
From Clifton I can see Garfield and the antenna is in that direction.

Anybody have any clues?
