Will the new digital antenna be of the same height, or is there the possibility that the pinnacle height could be increased even further?

A picture I took a few days ago. I used my cell so sorry for the quality.

It's only a 'little' bit of the antenna removed, but it still surprises me how different the whole top looks now. Does anybody know how long it will take for the replacement to be installed?

More like 39 years, it is about to tie the Empire State Building as the longest reigning tallest building in the United States and it looks like it will surpass it given the antenna change on the new WTC. Sears/Willis will remain the tallest in the United States for the forseable future, certainly in Chicago it will.
