Thanks for sharing that - I cant find it, but I see a very large 2-tower site to the left.

BTW are there any satellite pictures of WTIX-FM's tower?

Those two big towers in the left upper portion are WVUE TV 8 and WYES TV 12. The WTIX-AM towers are on the very thin line jutting out from the shore. The transmitter building is looking a bit off-kilter as well, and only two towers are visible, one that seems to be down and the next one out on the jetty that can only be partially seen, but appears to be standing.

I can't remember which tower they are on, but nearly all of the big towers are visible in these photos.
 
From my point of view it looks like that 2nd tower is also down.
