WRLP Tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WRLP Tower was a 663 foot (202.1 m) high guyed television mast at Winchester, New Hampshire, United States. WRLP Tower was built in 1966 and was the tallest man-made construction in the state of New Hampshire[citation needed]. WRLP signed off in March 1978 and the tower was dismantled and shipped to Utah to start KSTU in Salt Lake City. The tower bears FCC registration number, 1023108[1]
The original tower was built for WRLP's debut on May 15, 1957,[2] but was destroyed when a small aircraft struck a guy wire in August 1966.[3]
