The three downed towers have all been rebuilt. Last I heard, they were 
still operating ND (50 day/12.5 kW nights) from the first of the rebuilt 
towers while getting the new phasor in place and the directional pattern 
proofed.

Even for a company with a sizable engineering staff, CC has been swamped 
with emergency AM engineering work, most recently in Memphis where the 
WDIA 1070 array is underwater, so I'm not sure if the company's AM gurus 
have finished the work in Wheeling yet.
