Are the GPS coordinates for the transmitting antenna available anywhere? I called the local TV station and they don't know the coordinates for their transmitting antenna. I'd be surprised if they gave them to you if they had them. Publishing the exact location may be a security risk. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson, Jerusalem, Israel N3OWJ/4X1GM |

You'd have to be really paranoid crazy to try to hide something that sends out a Megawatt homing beacon 24/7. |

However a location such as" 5 miles east of town on the Interstate" is good enough to aim the antenna, but may be obscure enough to prevent vandalism, theft, etc. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
