>From what I remember about the set up, it appeared that the entenna served for a tv in the church. At least with the wire leading from the entenna to the church would lead one to think that. That would be the logical explaination. Maybe the grave site gave the best reception for the church and they just stuck it up there. Then again, it could be one of the explainations that you heard. If I ever run across the photo I'll send a copy into the web site. The last time I was out that way the entenna has long since been removed. Maybe the deceased got cable? I wonder how long it will be before they upgrade to a satelite dish?
