Description
GWEN transmitting antennas consist of a concrete foundation 2 feet (0.61 m) above grade, a 3-foot-high (0.91 m) insulator, a 290-foot (88 m) steel tower, and 4-foot (1.2 m) lightning rods enclosed by a 42-foot (13 m) × 47-foot (14 m), 8-foot-high (2.4 m) chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. The tower itself would be supported by 15 guy wires attached to the ground at six anchor locations. Surrounding the tower and attached to it at the top and anchored in the ground by concrete blocks would be 12 top-loading elements (TLEs). The purpose of the TLEs is to enhance the efficiency of the antenna. Anchors for the TLEs and guy wires would be within the site boundaries.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
