Talk:WECT

Dubious
The Star-News and several other supposedly reliable sources say 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)
