Re: [IRCA] [ ABDX ] Ka-Poof & gone

All three have their towers near each other slightly northeast of the Bay 
Bridge toll plaza on the Oakland side. I imagine they all get their power 
from the same source. The next time you go by there take a look. KQKE, KIQI 
and KMKY each have three towers in that area. The lights are easy to spot at 
night and they are easily visible from the Google maps satellite photo of 
the area.
