Article: Steel from North Carolina TV tower to help Green Beret Foundation

It says the tower had belonged to WECT-TV (NBC) channel 6 of Wilmington, NC. The site was rendered obsolete soon after the 2009 digital transition.

OK...so where is the WECT-TV transmitter now? (I haven't been in that part of North Carolina.)
 
It's a shame they decided not to build on that tower. The argument was that the UHF digital signal would not have made it to Wilmington, but I would argue that the signal on the WUNJ tower wound up being worse than the analog site would have been. WECT ultimately wound up moving to the WWAY tower.

Digital until 2009 on WUNJ's tower: http://www.rabbitears.info/contour.php?appid=990128&map=Y

Digital today on WWAY's tower: http://www.rabbitears.info/contour.php?appid=1275778&map=Y
