Tallest Radio Mast - slightly OT
ARNie
does anyone know how high above sea level the TOP of the NTL tower in
Sydney is ?(The one that Seven and TEN and some FM's broadcast from in
Sydney on the Pacific Hwy at Artarmon). We're trying to settle a bet
here.
One of our tech's used to do some maintenance on it and he thought
that the top of the tower was actually higher above sea level than the
top of Centrepoint Tower.
Sorry no prizes this week. The only thing left in the prize cupboard
(old wheelie bin) are some of our crap "Rock Legends" CD's. You know
the ones, they have all the greatest, most massive, high rotation,
Selector pumping hits in the world (as long as they're on the Warner
or EMI label) plus the token Barnsey from Mushroom).
Come on Google Groupers share your knowledge, first correct entry will
win absolutely nothing, so keep listening next hour for your chance to
be informed, enlightened and entertained. Post Now. Even if the answer
is wrong. All replies go into the draw for a trip for two in Cherie's
old chair. (Yep, the one that Ricky Martin sat in). Come back Cherie,
we miss your hair, we miss your emails, your always thoughtful input
on the rotation, your thoughts on Alan and of course that funny little
smell.

(By the way, for those who used to work here, Tim's wearing the bright
flowery tie from Target again which means he's desperate. please help
him out. He keeps walking past the studio talking to himself. he
really needs to post some good figures before the meet or he'll be
trading down to a Hyundai Excel. If you or someone you love have a
business email Tim, (sa...@arn.com.au) and he'll sell you some spots.
buy 1 get 1 free. he's got lot's and lot's of empty slots, look at
that schedule, every break has the same clients plus one of those
spots for Commercial Radio Australia. (We're turning into Nova - never
more than two ads in a row - that's because we're having trouble
finding more than two ads for each break).
Don't forget, our lines are open right now, ring tim and book your
spot on
8899 9999. Quick, catch him now or they'll have to page him at the
Food Court in Macquarie Centre) and by the way, we really do like the
new logo.
Sincerely,
The All New ARNie,

now operated by Broadcast Australia. This site is 92m above sea level.
Originally the tower was 152m high but it may have been added to. The
channel 7/10 tower is loacted in Hampden Rd Artarmon. It is operated by TXA
, a company jointly owned by 7,9 & 10, and is where 2MMM, 2DAY, MIX , WS-FM
(and 2CBA) transmit from. This site is 101.8m above sea level. The tower
proper is 203m high and a 20m high UHF antenna for SBS-TV was added in the
past couple of years making the structure 223 high and the top 325m above
sea level. The other TXA tower at the channel 9 complex at Willoughby is
Australia's tallest broadcast tower, it is 233m high and the site elevation
is 72m.
When TV commenced in Sydney in 1956, the max height of the top of the towers
above sea level was limited to 800ft (244m) due to aviation rules. The
original 9 tower was 561ft (171m) high, the rules were changed in the early
60s and it was replaced in 1964 by the 233m tower which complied with new
1000ft (305m) height rule. The old channel 7 tower at Gore Hill was also
demolished after they moved to the higher 10 tower up the road at Artarmon.
Hope this helps
