[MLB-WIRELESS] What does a Galaxy transmitter look like?

[Goa Trance]

Andy,
  I thought the antenna's were all pointing at Ceres Hill.  You know that
huge tower with all the microwave transmitters up on it?  
I believe the whole of Geelong has LOS to that hill.. unless you live in
a hole.  Maybe they had another transmitter up near the cement works?
