The mast was supposed to be removed by the end of 2013, but apparently the last I heard was that it would now be removed before the end of January 2014, probably the delay was weather related

Hi Mike - someone who passes there regularly told me yesterday that the mast is still there, though the panels on top have been removed - still plenty of microwave dishes on the mast ;)
