Both TV5 and WRAL-101 are now fully operational from the new tower and very few problems have been encountered to date. Field measurements of the television signal show an improvement which exceeds our expectations. What we have learned so far further convinces us that circular polarization does work and is a big plus. The old tower is being dismantled but high winds have slowed us up the past few days.
Tele-news Letter, July 1965
