Why would you need lots of 1KW towers to cover a 80 mile area?
That's just the wrong way to do it.
Take Sydney Australia for example where a single VHF 3.5KW TX giving
50KW ERP on a single tower covers an area this big adequately with
2 small repeaters in a separate UHF SFN.
Much cheaper than trying to cover the area with lots of small TX sites
In a SFN or an "Earth Scorcher" main UHF TX.
