URUGUAY. A strong wind storm of 180 kilometers per hour has affected the
northern departments of the country on Feb 2. Most affected were Artigas,
Rivera and Tacuarembo. In the latter case, the tower of 1400 CX140 R.
Zorrilla de San Martin, a 110 meter high tower collapsed and its antenna
system was entirely destroyed. The station, known as "la mas potente del
Interior" ("the most powerful in the countryside") is transmitting, though,
but with an emergency unit. (Osvaldo Dini, stn's Director interviewed in
local radio via Horacio Nigro-Uruguay, Feb 3)
