[cma-l] Tallest ever Community Radio Mast?

[Associated Broadcast Consultants]

Interesting story from Alwyn on the MB21 discussion forum - don't think
it's first of April yet...:

Application reference 16/00044

An application for a 320m high 3m face width mast at Richborough, which it
is proposed will host free of charge a community radio station for East
Kent.

The reason for such largesse? The mast will form part of a shortened
microwave path to mainland Europe for high frequency trading.

Believe it or not, a second application is on the way from a competitor in
this business for a 305m high mast, also at Richborough, also offering free
hosting of community radio:

What a shame there's "no frequencies available".
