Plugged in the Geographical Coordinates on bing.com and selected the 'Bird's Eye View' That is a Communications Tower, and the 6 things that are thought to be towers are the anchors for the guy wires (actually, cables) That aerial photo must be as out of date as the aerial photo for WRTO-1200. That's why we're not seeing the towers for either station online yet. There was some kind of station that was continuously playing Public Service Announcements one right after another around 11:00 p.m. last night, and one of the PSA's mentioned a phone number that started with 847- (and then of course the signal faded out or WBAP/CHAM drowned it out) I can't say 100% sure that it was WCPT-AM testing... The bearing on the signal with the PSA's sure seemed to correspond with WCPT-AM's New Lenox site with respect to my location.
: According to Google Maps, the tower site is somewhere between Joliet & New Lenox. If the towers are actually up in the picture, then the site looks like it's in a triangle shape, with 2 towers in each point.
