I wonder if they could modify the antenna to be more of a spire. This way, the tower would be 1,472' and actually count towards its overall height. Its such a integral part of the ESB. Without it, it looks foreign. Maybe because I'm so use to seeing it with the antenna and wasn't around in the good old days when it was just the spire, and blimps landed on it. It would be pretty cool to see that again. I'd be a hell of a tourist trap. Blimps that fly around the Island. But in terms of the antenna itself, the ESB pulls it off so majestically. Usually it doesn't look good on towers (Times Building for example), but it fits so perfectly. Even at night too.
