Towers Planned at Burke For Northeastern Vt
Arrangements are nearing completion to erect two dipole antennas on Burke Mountain fire tower to bring part of Vermont into the statewide ETV network when it begins operation. The plan to finish a 400 foot tower failed due to weather and strikes, with completion targeted for next summer while Ascutney tower near Windsor advances and southern coverage to start next month. A Bennington League of Women Voters meeting at Mt Anthony Union High School will hear on local government structures and serve as a session for newcomers.
