Re: Aug 19th 1989
To be fair the big mast was up for 4 years, which is longer than the 60s pirates lasted.The gale was extreme and did a lot of damage to other broadcast antennas, it survived but wasn't given the repairs it needed to survive another 4 years.Because of its size it was capable of putting out the biggest signal of any offshore station.Many smaller masts didn't even last that long on ships, so size is no indication of sturdiness.
