More than likely the antenna is atop the Teachers College on the corner of Mckinley and Riverside (across from Emens). Thats where most of the antennas are located cause its probably the tallest building on campus. Im glad they have one in muncie now cause the one in indy didnt reach here too well unless i had my discone hooked up and now im listening to it without ANY antenna on my scanner...perfect
