); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RETRY Didier, that ought to be just about in your back yard!! I did some consulting for one of the Dothan TV stations last year (what's amazing is that the transmitter is actually in Florida!). Anyway, on my way there from a military reunion in Texas, we stopped in Shalimar to visit my old roommate that didn't make the reunion. If I had known then where you live, I would have stopped by to see you... He's probably about a mile from your place!

They run 800kW into a 700 foot monopole array.
