and to the west, where it makes a left and heads toward Lake Francis.
Good aperture for the Tulsa market TV's and Fort Smith to the south.

Know that site well. I worked for the local cable operator for 8 years
starting as a cable guy and working my way up to a Network Engineer.
We did some work for them as well. We had a headend off of brush creek road
just up the hill from that site.
It's a wildlife protected area, but devoid of trees where the guy wire anchors would go.
It was the perfect site for FM 2-county area coverage, and only 4 miles from our home.
The irony is, before construction began the new owners tried to screw me out of two weeks pay,
so we parted ways.
Never got a traffic ticket, but there were lots of discourteous drivers in that town.During my stint with the cable operator I wound up in Pittsburg pretty often, we call it the
crown jewel of southeast Kansas. I liked the town, especially the speed trap near the university.
I started with a big tube-type regulated power supply that Tulsa U no longer needed.
Good luck with that [grounded B+ thread]!
Competency in actually making homebrew electronics work is not my forte.
I can fix things all day, but creating from scratch is a challenge.
The power transformer was the only useful component--built the amp around it.
Yes, good luck to anyone discussing a tech subject amidst constant childish distractions.
