I was downtown the other day and found the antennas on top of the AON center rather interesting. I never saw an antenna that looked like that. Here's the pic I took: http://brandylion.com/images/aon-antenna.jpg It's a very different looking antenna. From my google searches all I found is that it broadcasts for WDRV. That antenna looks like it was designed for a lot more than broadcast some FM station hardly anyone listens to.

Actually, it's a pretty simple antenna, it just looks complex.

You could have told him it was part of HAARP. Or better yet the Chinese version of it.

Then I realized that a bloated bureaucracy of SEIU weenies such as DHS could never be so clever.

I did notice another station that seemed to pop out of nowhere, I think it's 95.1, seems to cater to the northen Illinois area from the commercials, it's sort of a metal rock station. Seems to come in strong and clear on the north side anyway. Just don't remember it being there last time I was scanning for anything to listen to in the car. -bruce bje@ripco.com
