Frank had most of the specs right.  625 foot towers are the most
common ones in the US.  But we still run a half dozen high power
stations (I had Iwo Jima in 1980).  1.8 Mwatts thru a 1250 foot
tower.  The high power stations still don't have the solid state
transmitters -- each push-pull transmitter has 2 first intermediate
power amp tubes -- air cooled, about 10 inches tall plus 2
second IPA air cooled tubes about foot and a half tall and 7 pairs
of driver tubes which stand about 3 feet tall and are water cooled.
The transmitters are walk-in -- we have two at each station side
by side with a passageway down the middle.  Great excitement when
the transmission line shorts out !!-).
