If it still had broadcast equipment on it I'd say sure, but based on the most recent renderings of the Dirtbag organization I'd have to say no. I don't really see how bare steel rings will impact the visual height. On the other hand they will provide an excellent roost for pigeons to poop all over America's new symbol of Freedom and resurgence. If only they could poop on Durst's head.

The latest render does have bare steel rings. Does that mean the dishes have been eliminated and the rings stay empty.

LOL

There's just no bright side to this antenna / ring dilemma, or at least I don't see it.

I think Otie mentioned that it will have the broadcast equipment on the ring when the tower opens.

not necessarily when the tower opens but when broadcasting companies secure a spot on it and place equipment there. Odds are by then plenty of dishes and antennas will be attached.

looked like the twins for more than a split second to me, man. I kept staring at it, it's really amazing............we've seen this angle many times but this pic is the closest yet to mimicking the twins. Of course the angle of the sun etc where you cant distinguish the colors of each building helps

The dishes haven't been "eiminated" They were never there. They were always just part of an artists conception and will be added as needed. I doubt if there was ever a chance for that perfect, unbroken ring of dishes pointed out like that.
What they wind up with at opening is probably going to disappoint a lot of people. It doesn't seem likley the evil ones will add a bunch of phony enclosures just to keep things looking balanced.

Ring of dishes

That triple ring of white dishes as mentioned was a total artist fantasy. Half of them were pointed to the Atlantic Ocean. In the real world those dishes are far fewer in number at any one given node in a network and are generally placed asymmetrically to align with the location of other towers.
