Cane Valley perspectives: WGRB



2011-04-19 - Cane Valley, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener.
It's all owing to where you are as awesomenity of the tallest structure in Adair County. At right, looking over the green gable of the Cane Valley Post office, WGRB's 1,100-plus mast doesn't seem so big. But up close, at the base of the tower atop television hill in Cane Valley, it's height is impressive. It's over twice the height of the next two tallest structures, the radio towers of WDCL, Radio Purdy (popularly and ignorantly called a Somerset station) and of the Mighty Big Dog, (popularly and benevolently termed Campbellsville) on the nar's at Purdy, KY. They both about 500 feet tall. After that, tall gets much, much shorter, with WHVE, greater Ozark, at 250 feet, and WAIN, on Liberty RD, under 200. This general information was supplied by Larry Smith, , who defers to colleague Alan Reed on technical matters. "He'll know," Smith said this morning. Reed has exact data like this in his little toe, according to local legend.
