That is the north tower of our AM broadcast. Carries nearly 5kw day, and part of 330 watts night. It's called a "windcharger" and hated by painting crews. Lots of extra cross members. Good for broadbanded AM ,however at full bandwidth. No antennas hang from it, with AM, the tower itself IS the live antenna and very dangerous to touch or be too near. When we DO hang an antenna or antenna system on it, (as we do on our middle tower #2 for our FM) it requires isolation from the AM by what's called an "isocoupler". Hope that helps.

Better watch out for your local cable company... they might be thinking you are starting up a head-end site and compete with them! :)
Nice dishes and neat installation. Does look professional.
Think I read somewhere that grounding at even half-wave points on a conductor nulls out the induced RF somewhat. I know that will be difficult with a cable run less than a quarter wave long on your AM transmitter frequency...
