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.
any extensions would not be counted, as they aren't apart of the original design. IMO The setup right now is fine, plus it looks great at night. Also I think the mooring station never happened. Complications and all that.
