[edit]TheStar-Newsand several other supposedlyreliable sourcessay the station's old tower was 1,905 feet tall. But how is it that it was considered the tallest in Eastern North Carolina and seventh-tallest in the world? Other sources say exactly 2000 feet. I hope to find official confirmation in a couple of weeks when I go to a large library.—Vchimpanzee·talk·contributions·21:05, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
- The library was no help but someone suggested contacting the WECT engineer, and this is what he told me in an email:
- Although the WECT tower was 1900'-3 "high that does not include the large Harris television broadcast antenna mounted on top so the [Fayetteville Observer] was wrong in their report. The official FCC ASR records show the tower height with antenna at 609.6 meters (1999.97 feet) above ground level.
- If anyone can tell me how to source this in the article, I'd appreciate it.
- It wasn't the Star News where I got this.—Vchimpanzee·talk·contributions·21:05, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
