I think this is a genuine TTD bug, not specific to TTDPatch.  (BTW, what 
do you consider 'north' in TTD?  Left up or right up?)

Due to a silly bug in TTD's random map creation procedure, transmitters 
can appear only on farmlands.  Oh, and they can't appear below certain 
altitude (6 levels above sea to be exact), but that's intended.  I guess 
you've got a modified set of industries with no TTD-style farmlands.

Unfortunately, when I tried to fix it the most obvious way, the map got 
littered by tens of transmitters.  I haven't yet figured out why it 
works right in TTO, after all.
