2000 ft radio towers in Florida?

[Obelixx]

Was WCIX TV Tower ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCIX_TV_Tower ), which collapsed in 1992 really a 2000 ft (609 metres) tall radio mast. Was it rebuilt or not?
When was WCIX TV Tower built?
Is WDJR-FM Tower ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WDJR-FM_Tower ) still the tallest tower of Florida?
Are there nowadays radio towers taller than 600 metres in Florida?

I didnt think such tall radio towers existed here in florida because of hurricanes the tower that was destroyed by hurricane andrew.

I saw a news piece on WCTV in Tallahassee a few years ago in which the reporter took (and filmed) a ride up the cabled elevator in the middle of the three poled tower of the station's 2,000 foot tower. The reporter rode with the maintenance supervisor who uses the elevator once a year to service the light bulb on top. The view at the top was incredibly high and left me wondering about the validity of their claim that it was 2,000 feet, but that's what they said. The tower is generally in the flight path of Tallahassee Regional Airport's north/south runway about 20 or 25 miles north of the airport.

Thanks for the info Punk I remember the old tower it's marking was red and whites once I lived in homestead, while the new one is all grey. So the pre hurricane tower was 2000ft while the new tower stands at 1800ft. Wikipedia states the mast in Bethlehem Is the tallest in the state @ 2000ft.

WCIX TV Tower is a 549 metres (1,801 ft) guyed television transmission tower near Homestead, Florida. It was destroyed on August 24, 1992, by Hurricane Andrew and was rebuilt by LeBlanc Tower of Canada. The tower was actually fabricated and engineered by LeBlanc of Canada but was erected By Tower King Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia. At the time of erection the structure was the heaviest guy supported broadcast tower in the world.

From Wikipedia

December 18, 1986|By BILL KELLEY, Television Writer
Viewers of Miami independent station WCIX-Ch. 6 will receive a weaker signal for at least two more weeks, as the station operates at half-power while a new transmission tower is installed.

A spokesman from the Channel 6 engineering department said the station`s tower, about five miles north of Homestead, is being extended from 1,500 to 2,000 feet. Meanwhile, a standby antenna is being used, and it cuts the station`s signal strength by about half.
